VES Awards 2023, ecco tutte le nomination della Visual Effects Society

VES Awards 2023: ben 14 nomination per Avatar 2

La Visual Effects Society ha comunicato quest’oggi le nomination dei VES Awards 2023, i premi assegnati ai migliori effetti visivi della stagione.

A dominare le nomination, manco a dirlo, il kolossal fantascientifico Avatar: La via dell’acqua con un numero record di candidature – 14 – mai nessun film ne aveva raccolte così tante. Tra gli altri film nominati dalla VES anche Animali Fantastici: i Segreti di Silente, Jurassic World il Dominio, The Batman e Top Gun: Maverick.

Nelle categorie dedicate ai prodotti animati il Pinocchio (leggete anche le nomination degli Annie Awards) di Guillermo Del Toro ha raccolto 6 nomination, mentre Il Signore degli Anelli: Gli Anelli del Potere ha portato a casa il ruolo di leader nelle categorie televisive. I VES Awards verranno assegnati durante una cerimonia di premiazione che si terrà il 15 febbraio al Beverly Hilton di Los Angeles. Diamo uno sguardo qui di seguito a tutte le nomination.
