Thoughts:

Why was Toy Story 3 on the list for "adapted" screenplay - I can't recall them actually publishing the work prior to starting the movie, which I thought was the distinction between that and "original"...

Tron snubbed for best effects?  Was Iron Man 2 really better, or did the Academy just not "get" why Clu looked the way he did?

Tangled snubbed for Best Animated?  And why only 3 nods this year instead of 5?

Alice would probably be the frontrunner for best effects if Inception didn't have so much hype around it.  Odd that aside from Inception, there isn't the big match-up where the visual effects also rule the sound categories (and odd that no animated films got sound design).  I don't expect Harry to get it, though 7.2 probably will get some attention unless Pirates 4 really has something special.

Day and Night I hope gets short animated.  Pixar hasn't won since For the Birds as the Acadamy has voted "artsy" for most of the last decade, though Day and Night is Pixar's most artistic statement for a short in quite some time.  It's also just plain fun.
