I agree with Commodore in that things may have been different had it not been for Avatar, Star Trek would have had no chance against the cinematic quality that Avatar gave us so visual effects would have been a no, definitely not best picture or acting, still would have been nice to have got the sound mixing one.
Still we shouldn't get too upset and lose focus, like starwarsrcks said, it has brought Trek back from the dead and back into the mainstream... so good times there
