Post Best Visual Effects
This is one of my personal favorite categories, as I love big blockbuster movies and special effects usually go along with those. This year has many choices to offer. Which ones do you think will the Academy pick?


My picks (winner in bold):

I, Robot
Spider-Man 2
The Day after Tomorrow

Spider-Man 2
The Day After Tomorrow
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

The first two are pretty much locks. Sky Captain is shaky because of the audience reaction and box office. Academy could forget about it in a couple of months. However, A.I. wasn't particularly liked by the audience either and was snubbed in many technical categories, but it still got a Visual Effect nomination. So I'll stick with Sky Captain for the last spot.

WEll, I agree with you, in a way.

Personally, I like the effects in DAT the most.

But I think that the Academy will reward the movie with the best reviews.

My vote goes to Spiderman 2.I wouldnt argue with anyone who chose TDAT,Those effects were stunning also,except for those ridiculouse looking CGI wolves.

Probably Spider-Man 2, but I would love for Harry Potter to win. It's not gonna happen, though. :(

Harry Potter should win. Buckbeak was fucking incredible.

Spider-man 2 will probably win.

I don't think there is any doubt that Spider-Man 2 will win.

I think Harry Potter's quality as a movie and as a special effects piece makes it a good nominee (Buckbeak!)

I think Sky Captain will bring up the rear.

I'm now leaning towards The Aviator for a nom, but not a win. It might replace either Day After Tomorrow or Harry Potter.

OSCAR NOMINATIONS:

I, Robot
Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban
Spider-Man 2



I am somewhat surprised about The Aviator's ommission, but as for now, I'd say Spider-Man 2 is a lock for a win.

I would be embarrassed if I was picking DAT...lol


Spider-Man 2 is a lock to win this award. The FX were just incredible.
