That was one of the few bets I won on our pool:
I assumed that the technicians would be forced into the definition question of "What IS 3-D?" (is it cinematography? Directorial choice? The "third" category of film vs. Color and B/W?), and deciding that native 3D in a movie was....special camera/visual effects created to augment the shot film.
If Hugo itself couldn't win Best Picture as a 3D movie, it could at least be recognized for having the best 3D effects of the year, which, indeed, it did.

(And if you're rushing to Andy Serkis's defense in Apes, that was a performance in mo-cap--The actual CGI itself wasn't really that good.)
