Cannes Film Festival 2013

2010 Best Picture Contenders

Are 'Star Trek,' 'District 9' and 'Avatar' on the list? You bet they are

Star Trek

Pros: It was a word of mouth phenomenon that silenced all naysayers by winning over audiences and critics alike.  Its success has director J.J. Abrams being touted as the next Steven Spielberg and created a number of new potential screen stars including Chris Pine and Zoe Saldana.

Cons:  Besides the fact its science fiction you can't ignore its also "Star Trek."  Those words may still have a very negative connotation with the Academy.  Is the membership really comfortable with placing a film with that title next to their all time greats?  Even as a nominee?
