But I'll admit my eyebrows raised a bit when I saw Gemini Man make the cut (maybe the VES didn't see Junior's last scene?). The 2021 class VES Hall of Fame winners include VFX Supervisor and DP, and the special effects icon Roy Field (labyrinth, Dark crystal), Special Effects. Art also has utilitarian influences on society. For example, in 2013, researchers from Newcastle University found that viewing contemporary visual art had positive effects on the personal lives of nursing home-bound elders. It's no surprise to see movies like The Lion King and Avengers: Endgame in the first category below. Researchers have long been interested in the relationship between art and the human brain. But Toy Story 4 and Alita: Battle Angel are nipping at their heels with five nominees each. The Mandalorian and Game of Thrones are sitting at the top of the pile, tied with six nominations each. There have been several nominees for various guild awards announced today alone, including the contenders for the Visual Effects Society's annual awards show, which "recognizes outstanding visual effects artistry and innovation worldwide in film, animation, television, commercials and video games, and the VFX supervisors, VFX producers and artists who bring this work to life."

Hollywood should be labeled a danger zone this time of year: so many award nominations are flying around that if you're walking down Sunset Boulevard and not keeping your head on a swivel, you're liable to get clocked by one of them.
