A very well done to the guys behind The Secret of Kells, Granny O'Grimm's Sleeping Beauty, and The Door for making the shortlist this year, as well as Richard Baneham (nominated for Best Visual Effects on Avatar) and Peter J Devlin (nominated for Best Achievement in Sound for Star Trek). Avatar and The Hurt Locker lead the way with 9 nominations a piece. Also, great to see Jeremy Renner get a nomination.
