    2008: Transformers loses the oscar for best special effects to some decidedly fake looking CGI polar bears.

    2010: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen isn't even nominated for the special effects category.

    I would be shaking my fist and demanding to know what the deal is, but it's always the same with the Oscars; they hate to recognize movies that are critically low-brow, mindless romps. Yes, ROTF was crude and crazy and full of action and has been nominated for the Razzie award for worst picture of the year. However, despite all that, the special effects are by far one of the best spectacles to grace the silver screen this last summer. To not even nominate it?

    *shakes head*
