The only CG in that sequence was when it flipped over and the digital double in front of the FireTruck of Arnold
EDIT: a couple more minor shots actually. Oh and comparing the effects to a PS2's graphics is a pathetic statement and you know it, it's exactly the statement the 'Media fanatics' as you so aptly called them would say.
None of the films up for a nomination have poor visual effects. Matrix Reloaded or Revolutions should have been nominated over the Hulk and Peter Pan but they're still pretentious in the display of their effects and the Oscars won't see past that fact and realise the technical achievement of the visual effects of the two Matrix sequels.
Anyway, didn't Joel Silver say something about this a while back, that the two films were not able to be submitted for Oscar scrutinization?
In the end Return of the King has the best bet and is the most earnest of the films up for nomination, after all they put the acting and the story ahead of the CG.
