ndVisual Effects Society Awards, claiming five wins including one in the leading category for outstanding VFX in a photoreal feature. Wednesday night at the Beverly Hilton, it also won the categories for created environment, model, compositing and lighting and effects simulations. Also, in the feature competition, “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.
3” collected two awards for the digital character (the emotive Rocket) and virtual cinematography. “Oppenheimer” grabbed the trophy for practical effects, and “Nyad” took home the award for supporting VFX. Sony Pictures Animation’s “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” was the big winner among the animated features, collecting four awards.
“The Creator,” whose VFX was led by Industrial Light + Magic, and Guardians 3, whose work was shared by roughly 10 VFX companies, including Framestore and Weta FX, are also nominated for the VFX Oscar. The Academy Award nominees in the category also include “Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1,” “Godzilla Minus One” and “Napoleon,” which were all shut out at the VES Awards. The VES has an uneven record for predicting the eventual Oscar winner in visual effects.
In only four of the last 10 years has the VES’ top category winner for outstanding VFX gone on to win that Oscar. And last weekend, “Poor Things” — which failed to earn an Oscar or VES nomination — won the BAFTA in VFX. On the TV side, “The Last of Us” was the big winner in the episodic categories, collecting four awards.
