VES Awards 2013, nomination: in gara Vita di Pi, Lo Hobbit, The Avengers e Battleship

La Visual Effect Society ha annunciato le nomination ai VES Awards 2013, i premi che celebrano i migliori effetti visivi dell’anno nel cinema, nella televisione, negli spot pubblicitari e nei videogiochi. La lista dei nominati, che trovate subito dopo il salto, comprende Vita di Pi, Lo Hobbit, Prometheus, The Avengers, Battleship, Ribelle: The Brave e Paranorman. Il presidente Jeffrey A. Okun ha commentato:

Gli effettivi visivi hanno contribuito a definire l’esperienza di andare al cinema. Ogni anno, artisti degli effetti visivi mettono la loro abilità tecnica, l’ingegno e la passione al lavoro nella creazione di immagini che ci stupiscono e ci commuovono. Ci congratuliamo con tutti i nominati per le loro sorprendenti realizzazioni e per il contributo che hanno dato al mondo del cinema, dell’animazione, della tv, degli eventi speciali e dei videogames.

Vi ricordiamo che la cerimonia di premiazione si svolgerà il 5 febbraio al Beverly Hilton Hotel e che in quell’occasione il regista Ang Lee riceverà il premio speciale Visionary Awards VES.
