Impact Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Which list? People were talking about it before it got moved... I'm assuming that's the deal. I was about to say the same thing-I do have that in the first post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that would make sense then. Thank you sir. You are a gentleman and scholar. Not to mention you smell like fresh baked cookies. Always a plus.

Empire Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) DOTPOTA far and away had the best visual effects from last year. Interstellar comes in a distant second. Third best was probably Guardians. It will be a big shame if Apes doesn't win. Edited January 10, 2015 by Empire 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorschach Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 DOTPOTA far and away had the best visual effects from last year. Interstellar comes in a distant second. Third best was probably Guardians. It will be a big shame if Apes doesn't win. It most likely won't sadly. I personally thought Interstellar had better effects but that's just me.

CoolioD1 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) voting for vfx is different from other awards at oscars because the people who vote for the nominees in the category have to go to a screening where they watch a 20 minute reel of vfx in the films on the shortlist that the studio put together and the voters have to vote based on that. after seeing all of them. According to David Cohen, Apes, Guardians, Interstellar and X-Men had the most impressive reels, w/ X-men being the only one to get a round of applause.

ShouldIBeHere Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Apes was so much more impressive than IS effect-wise. And the better movie too... Anyway... Serkis needs an Oscar at some point. For Apes he would have deserved a Supporting Nod. Won't be long until digital characters can get nominations, I think... it may be too late for Serkis, though. He already pulled off three master-performances with Gollum, Kong and Caesar. Maybe some Special Oscar at some point.

Avatree Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Apes was so much more impressive than IS effect-wise. And the better movie too... Anyway... Serkis needs an Oscar at some point.

He already pulled off three master-performances with Gollum, Kong and Caesar. Maybe some Special Oscar at some point. He deserves it for a lot of his work, but I rarely agree with Oscar winners/nominations anyway, so I'm not too fussed about whether he wins one specific award or whatever. Though he wasn't a supporting character in Dawn, he was the lead alongside Jason Clarke. They were equally the lead characters and neither was in a supporting role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vc2002 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) I'm not surprised Godzilla didnt make to the list, but CA2 and X-Men over TH3? Damn! And TH3 not being nominated seems to me like a message that the judges will likely give the award to Interstellar instead of Apes.

23IsEverywhere Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 DOTPOTA deserves to win. Making life like real animals even with mocap is extremely hard. Interstellar will win, the academy seems to find space dramas to have good graphics. I actually think that X-men, GOTG, and CA2 had better effects than interstellar 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalismanRing Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 There are no 12-year experiments like Boyhood in this year's Oscar category for best visual effects, yet innovation drives the five nominees. USA TODAY's Brian Truitt surveys the field competing at the Academy Awards on Feb. 22 and how FX gurus pulled off some of 2014's great movie moments.
