A shame the art department got snubbed. If there's one aspect of the prequels I feel hasn't gotten its due it's the art direction and costume design. I can't think of one film this year that can match Sith's expertise and creativity in those categories.
King Dong is probably going to win FX because of the hard on people seem to have for PJ these days even though the film is a visual mess, so I'm not picturing Sith walking away with anything, not that it matters anyway.
The rest of the VFX in King Kong may have been shoddy but there's no denying Kong himself is the single greatest visual effect in history... at least in my eyes. It will be well-deserved if it picks up the VFX award.
I too think it's a shame ROTS isn't nominated for costume design. Apart from possibly Narnia I can't think of anything else that has an equal level of quality in costumes than ROTS...
