Life of Pi deserves to be considered in all categories, including the acting department, most of time Suraj Sharma was acting opposite nothing, and Pi's transformation from a youth to a man fighting to survive is not just knee-jerk reactions; an actor must have fully understanded the material he's given and inhabited the role to have such wisdom gradually showing in his eyes, and of course, this film will will definitely sweep the effects awards; there's a tremendous amount of love and respect from the filmmaker and everyone involving in the making of the movie, and the audience can feel that in every wave of the monstrous ocean and every hair of the CG-tiger Richard Parker.

You know why Pi deserves Visual effects Oscar ? The scene involving the flying carp (?) , it's simply astounding in 3D ! To describe further would take away from the experience, but I would pay to see again just for that scene on a big screen.

So I can only assume that Life of Pi actually looks good on the big screen because the CGI animals look terrible in the trailers. Of the things I've seen Prometheus is easily my number 1.

Considering its potential nominations elsewhere, I'm curious as to whether 'Rust and Bone' might also manage to score an effects nod.
