Seven Films Considered for Visual Effects Oscar
by Andre Soares
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced that seven films are "in consideration" for the 2006 Visual Effects Academy Award.
They are:
Casino Royale
Eragon
Night at the Museum
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest
Poseidon
Superman Returns
X-Men The Last Stand
(Apparently, the visual effects found in El Laberinto del fauno / Pan’s Labyrinth weren’t considered special enough.)
On January 17, the Academy’s Visual Effects Award nominating committee will watch 15-minute excerpts from each of the seven films. Following the screenings, members will vote to nominate three films for Oscar consideration.
