Set over a decade after the events of 2009's Avatar, the sequel picks up with human-turned-Na'vi Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) living in domestic bliss with their four children, the war with humanity a distant memory. That is, until the RDA returns – with some familiar faces in tow. The Sullys flee to the coastal region of Pandora in an attempt to evade the RDA, and try to make a home by the ocean. The movie is nominated in three other categories along with Best Picture: Best Sound, Best Production Design, and Best Visual Effects.

The latter refuses to take no for an answer, while the former only becomes more stubborn in his rejection – to humorous and heartbreaking results. The movie is nominated for eight other awards alongside Best Picture, including Best Actor for Farrell and Best Original Screenplay.
