84TH ACADEMY AWARDS

predicting the winner for…

achievement in V I S U A L - E F F E C T S

.

W I L L win

RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES

what this film has for? CESAR alone could win this category, it is a motion captured CGI creation that feels fresh and not out of context.

what this film has against? the effects are not the visual spectacle they might be used to and the academy usually goes for the most.

C O U L D win

HUGO

AVATAR, CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON and INCEPTION took home the award in the last three years, all best film nominees; HUGO’s pedigree alone might be enough for voters.

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2

however if they want to award one of the most successful franchises and the film with the least subtle visual effects they might as well go here.
