Le Avventure di Tintin guida le nomination ai VES Awards

L'anno scorso Inception aveva fatto incetta di nomination e poi aveva ottenuto il maggior numero di premi, quest'anno toccherà forse a Le Avventure di Tintin: il Segreto dell'Unicorno, che ha ottenuto sei nomination nella decima edizione dei VES Awards, i premi di categoria della Visual Effects Society che verranno assegnati in una cerimonia il 7 febbraio, durante la quale Stan Lee verrà insignito del VES 2012 Lifetime Achievement Award e Douglas Trumbull del Georges Méliès Award.

A sorpresa, invece, è stato escluso The Tree of Life, presente invece nella shortlist dei film candidati alla nomination all'Oscar per i migliori effetti visivi. Cinque nomination per Harry Potter e i Doni della Morte - Parte 2 e per Transformers 3, mentre L'Alba del Pianeta delle Scimmie ne ha ottenute quattro, Hugo Cabret tre e Thor e Captain America due.
