The Oscar nominees for visual effects will come from the following list of ten movies. The biggest snub seems to be Man of Steel, which I'll admit makes me happy in a petty sort of way (although I'll go ahead and admit the effects were much better than World War Z):
- Elysium
- Gravity
- The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug
- Iron Man 3
- The Lone Ranger
- Oblivion
- Pacific Rim
- Star Trek Into Darkness
- Thor: The Dark World
- World War Z
Out of those, what's your best guess for the five nominees? I'm thinking Gravity, Hobbit, Pacific Rim, Star Trek Into Darkness and maybe Iron Man 3? I don't think there's a lot of suspense over the win in this category though- Gravity takes it in a walk.
