A second nomination comes in the Special Visual Effects category, which has nominated "Half-Blood Prince" alongside "Avatar," "District 9," "The Hurt Locker," and "Star Trek."

Yuck! I NEVER WANT TO SEE THE WORDS AVATAR EVER AGAIN! Its a cheap, cheesy, rotten, annoying James Cameron original (original, heck what am I saying, its the SAME EXACT storyline of Disney’s Pocahontas) movie.
