I have only one of this nominee on Bluray Star Trek and I was quite impressed I think most of us where impressed with the sound mix on this summer blockbuster.

There are few that are out on bluray that I might consider picking up before the ceremony. “Inglourious Basterds” has Michael Minkler and been quite impressed with his past works of achievement, such as Black Hawk Down and Chicago (DVD).

“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” now not being a huge Bay fan I guess I could consider it a worth by for Greg P. Russell and former Skywalker Sound (Gary Summers) whom has picked up Oscar several times in the past.

“Up” “The Hurt Locker” and “Avatar” not out on region B and I guess money is riding on “Avatar” to sweep the sound awards which wouldn’t surprise me.
