Before the Oscars, Reelz was showing the awards ceremony from a visual effects society. Between Up and Avatar, no one else stood a chance. It actually seemed like they were inventing categories that those 2 films weren't eligible for (Best Visual Effects in a Film that Was Animated But Didn't Have Balloons Or Blue People) just so someone else could win something.
As if to prove how geeky a gathering it was, the award for best single effects sequence was given to Avatar for the 5 second shot where Neytiri drank some water out of a leaf.
