In fact, I'd say RDJ would have been the last person on the nominee list who deserved the award. He was fine in Sherlock Holmes, but it was really just RDJ playing himself with an accent.

I agree with with you then that the story just sucked.  Not because it was a love story, but because it just sucked.

Personally, I thought the CGI was great but I actually didn't like the 3D effect at all.  It didn't really add anything.
