Would it be Joe Letteri or Richard Taylor?

Great to hear! [In reply to] Can't Post

Although I think "Avengers" will most likely take the cake for this one, seeing as how effects-heavy it was. But hell if DOS doesn't win when we get to see Smaug. I just know he's gonna look stunning.

It's not a nomination. [In reply to] Can't Post

It just means Hobbit is among 10 finalists for the nomination. VFX nominations will be announced together with the other categories.

No, this is a complete lock for The Hobbit because of the 48fps thing [In reply to] Can't Post

Like there is no way Avatar was going away empty handed, The Hobbit gets this because it's doing something revolutionary.

Totally Agree [In reply to] Can't Post

Weta Digital is, without a doubt, the top dog of computer animation right now. I highly doubt as much care was put into the effects of Avengers as was on The Hobbit. The Avengers was such a remarkably mediocre movie to begin with. I have yet to understand the praise it received.
