Still, District 9, without a major star or the path-breaking effects of Avatar, did not take awards season by storm. But when talk about the best screenplay and story came up, District 9 was always in the conversation.
That District 9 scored an Oscar Best Picture Nomination is a by-product of a system where 10 Best Picture Nominees were selected. And while some, like Celeb Blogger Perez Hilton, think that 10 is five too many, and others were upset that Star Trek wasn't in the Best Picture group, the Twitter response was favorable and interesting. Here's a sample:

ahlhelm RT @ThatKevinSmith: Ten fucking slots for Best Picture, and not a-one of 'em for JJ's STAR TREK? That list can't have TWO giant sci-fi movie's on it?
knowsurprises The Oscars are a mixed bag, but i'm glad to see some Sci-fi love for District 9 in best picture. I'm not excited about Sandra Bullock at all
