El Luchador's Oscar Yays! & Nays!: Visual Effects

PROBABLY WILL WIN

AVATAR (Joe Letteri Stephen Rosenbaum, Richard Baneham, and Andrew R. Jones) - No matter your thoughts on the quality of the story or charaacters or message, this movie was an amazing technical feat. The Na'vi, the luscious landscapes, the creature design, for better or for worse, will revolutionize the way movies are made, and that isn't even talking about the 3D. Most, if not all, of "Avatar's" predecessors used the technology as a gimmic, but the integration that James Cameron insisted on created a truly unique, as of now, movie going experience. Even though "District 9's" effects were amazing, especially in light of the discrepancy between the two films budgets, that movie is not the "Game Changer" that "Avatar" really is.
