   With ten nominees for BP, it might slip in as the weak 8, 9 or 10th   
   ranked pick.  But as someone once said (John Harkness?), if a film is   
   nominated for an Oscar, then by definition it is Oscar quality.  Now   
   with ten contenders, instead of having three or four nominees that   
   can't possibly win, they'll have seven or eight.  There ain't no way   
   Star Trek is going to win a Best Picture Oscar.  Never. Ever.  If   
   you're going to nominate a summer of '09 blockbuster for BP, The   
   Hangover is a better choice.  Star Trek road a wave of goodwill mainly   
   because it didn't suck.  I can't see it getting too far on Ocar night   
   on its double virtues of not sucking and revitalizing a dying   
   franchise.  Casino Royale didn't get nominated.
