BAKEOFF BLUES

This is about a week late, but I'm no longer in front of a computer everyday during the holidays (expect more late news in the coming weeks, heh)

The 7 films for the Bakeoff * have been named:

KING KONG
BATMAN BEGINS
CHARLIE ANDTHE CHOCOLATE FACTORY
HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE
THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA
STAR WARS:EPISODE III
WAR OF THE WORLDS

Unfortunately, STEALTH didn't make it. Oh well. I pretty much anticipated that anyway what with the stiff competition this year.

My vote is for War of the Worlds/Harry Potter.... or King Kong, soley for Kong himself.

*The Bakeoff: Every year, 7 films are considered for Oscar nomination in Visual Effects. Then, in february(?), those members of the Academy who are IN visual fx, and anyone who would like to attend, go to "the Bakeoff", where each fx crew from each movie pre-nominated presents a 15minute reel of their best work from the movie, followed by Q&A. At the end of the evening, the visual fx academy members then vote for the 3 films that will actually be nominated.
