Last year's Bakeoff post
------------------------------------------------------------------
*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.

Not that it matters since Pirates2 will win,
but come on..
X3 blew, had some really horrible fx in it,
Same with Superman.. too inconsistant on the fx,
Night at the Museum looks dumb.. indan in the cupboard, course I only seen trailer comps..
Poseidon looked like really expensive bad cg water.. "but it's physically acurate according to our scientists"
Eragon looks equally bad from it's trailers. (come on if you can't motivate me to see a movie about dragons)
Haven't seen any Casino Royale stuff..
All in all Flags got hosed, the fx were stunning in that film, wouldn't have beat pirates but gets my 2nd runner up nod..
I think it's another case of stuff looking "too real" and "too easy".
I guess that'd be first runner up is 2nd place.. anyway..
PIRATES 2 did!!!!!!!!!!
