Post 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.

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

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Something completely random

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

It's just that Oscar-y films always have an advantage in this category.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 deserves at least a nomination. The visual effects were perfect.

They weren't really, though. The trailers made them look were than they were.

TASM has worse effects than Raimi's series. Both movie looks like they were rendered for a video game.

There were tons of praise for the effects, dude. Even from other visual effect designers.

Yeah, but I can definitely think of five movies with better SFX.

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.

Just noticed that Edge of Tomorrow didn't make it. Not unexpected, but still too bad.

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
