Bringing out the Visual Effects Shortlist

The final announcement of nominees for the 82nd Annual Academy Awards is slowly but surely creeping in, which means that more shortlists will be appearing just like today. This time though it appeals to the Best Visual Effects category, the more technologically appealing sector within the Academy that tends to cater more towards mainstream films that you normally would not see or wish you could see among other nominees in other categories.

There are quite a few films that did not make the cut, some of them include Watchmen, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Coraline, Where the Wild Things Are and Disney’s A Christmas Carol. The Academy Awards takes place on March 7th at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. Here’s the list from Reuters.:

I've been in love with film ever since I was a kid. The time, effort and passion that runs through a majority most film is something that's always attracted me to this field. What ended up happening with my big appetite for all things going on in the industry turned from random blurbs on Facebook to an unexpected but fun job. College student by day, movie news writer by early morning...or any time in the day and night when more news arrives. Working towards my bachelor's degree in film, what a surprise. I do other things too, like draw, write stories, maintain a social life and feed my pet dragon Lockheed. If you want to know more about me, hunt me down and just ask.
