 Best Visual Effects 2014
Predictions?
Mine:
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Guardians of the Galaxy The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Interstellar Transformers: Age of Extinction
I almost wonder, though, if they will weary of nominating Transformers films for this award, perhaps opening a space of Exodus: Gods and Kings or Maleficent. Or Godzilla.

 Re: Best Visual Effects 2014
The Hobbit will probably sneak in as usual.

Yes, I forgot The Hobbit and had to edit my predictions.

 Re: Best Visual Effects 2014
Transformers won't be nominated. The Academy is not very fond of those films which they have shown by not awarding the first one (the only one that deserved to win).
I'm thinking:
The Hobbit Interstellar Guardians Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Into the Woods (it has effects, right?)
Alt: Godzilla

50 million's worth. I really hope the Academy awards it in more deserving categories, like makeup, costumes and sound mixing.

 Re: Best Visual Effects 2014
It's just that Oscar-y films always have an advantage in this category.

 Re: Best Visual Effects 2014
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 deserves at least a nomination. The visual effects were perfect.

 Re: Best Visual Effects 2014
They weren't really, though. The trailers made them look were than they were.

 Re: Best Visual Effects 2014
TASM has worse effects than Raimi's series. Both movie looks like they were rendered for a video game.

 Re: Best Visual Effects 2014
Yeah, but I can definitely think of five movies with better SFX.

 Re: Best Visual Effects 2014
The finalists are:
Captain America: The Winter Soldier Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Godzilla Guardians of the Galaxy The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Interstellar Maleficent Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb Transformers: Age of Extinction X-Men: Days of Future Past
Big LOL @ The Amazing Spider-Man 2 not making the cut. Slightly surprised that Exodus is not on there.

 Re: Best Visual Effects 2014
Just noticed that Edge of Tomorrow didn't make it. Not unexpected, but still too bad.

 Re: Best Visual Effects 2014
Wow, forgot about Maleficent. Definitely deserves a nomination. My picks would be 1. Interstellar 2. Maleficent 3. Apes 4. Guardians 5. Hobbit
X-Men's effects were okay too. But Godzilla really didn't have that many amazing visual effects outside of the monsters, which were barely in the movie

Spidey had better effects than all of them.
