Schweeet
well deserved

 

[Storm22]

That's fantastic. Well deserved too.

 

[psylockolussus]

Finally!!!!

Personally I didnt it would make the cut especially over Transformers and The Hobbit. Some of the vfx looked kinda obvious like for the Sentinels but this is GREAT!!!

 

[hoy-small-fry]

Woohoo!

 

[Rike]

 

[hoy-small-fry]

Visual Effects, because we need to put these hugely popular movies somewhere where the Hollywood elite won't get angry

 

[psylockolussus]

Uhhh nah. The Visual effects community should be given recognition for their work.

 

[EnDz0n3]

Congrats to my buddy who worked on the VFX!

 

[psylockolussus]

I hope they get the Oscar!

 

[EnDz0n3]

I think Apes will get this unfortunately.

I was joking... It just always makes me laugh how comic book movies never appear anywhere but in these sorts of categories

 

[Samarus]

I am very happy. This nomination is well deserved and even though it will not win (my money is on apes), it is nice this movie got recognized by the academy.

 

[MarvelU]

They did a good job with the VFX, The Sentinels looked good visually and all the mutant powers (Quicksilver, Blink, Iceman, Storm, Magneto and others) looked good on screen. I noticed this more when I saw the movie again on Blu ray. FYI the same guy who did the VFX for Prometheus also worked on X-Men, and Prometheus was also nominated.

 

[psylockolussus]

Oh yeah, I hope they bring back Richard Stammers for X-Men: Apocalypse!

 

[x-er]

what about the 3D rendition though?

 

[psylockolussus]

I dont think theres a category for that.

 

[BlackFox]

Nice, may not win but to get a nomination shows it had some good input in the visuals department. Good company its in as well. I expect Apes will win but I have not seen interstellar yet.

Great for the x-men crew that usually dont get the kudos of the big name actors and directors.

 

[x-er]

There's a lot of Latin American directors out there that could be a perfect fit for an X-Men installment, a standalone, preferably. There's Birdman's González Inárritu and Gravity's Cuarón. They could totally get X-Men to the Oscars bigtime.

Neither of them will ever, EVER direct a CBM.

Inarritu actually hates superhero films, and Cuaron just has no interest in doing another FX heavy project; not after Gravity.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

Dawn of The Planet of The Apes shoulda won for visual effects.

Shocked though that this is the first nomination for this franchise.

 

[psylockolussus]

From 2000 to 2006 there were only 3 films per year that made the nominations list.

Oh, well that's a pity, ain't it? I'm sure there are others.

A fan can dream.

Agreed on both points.

The Spidey franchise has 5 nominations and 1 win so far and the MCU has 8 nominations. Batman as a franchise has 15 nominations and 3 wins. Superman as a franchise since 1978 has 4 nominations and 1 Special Achievement win(they didn't have a Visual Effects Oscar category in 1978 so it just got a special achievement Oscar for it's SFX).
