Rango trionfa anche ai VES Awards

Altra delusione, dopo gli Annie, per Le Avventure di Tintin: pluri-nominato ai VES Awards, ieri sera è stato completamente ignorato dai premi, che sono andati a film come Rango, Transformers 3, Hugo Cabret e L'Alba del Pianeta delle Scimmie. Grande risultato per la Industrial Light & Magic, che in occasione del decimo anniversario del premio della categoria degli artisti degli effetti visivi ha dominato le vittorie.

A trionfare è stato Rango: il cartoon di Gore Verbinski ha vinto infatti quattro premi. Due premi per Transformers 3 e L'Alba del Pianeta delle Scimmie (i cui effetti sono a cura della Weta Digital, come Tintin), quest'ultimo ha ottenuto il riconoscimento più importante: migliori effetti visivi in un film guidato dagli effetti visivi. Potrebbe essere un indicatore della direzione che prenderà l'Academy tra un paio di settimane.

Due premi anche per Hugo Cabret, mentre Captain America (ignorato dall'Academy) ha vinto il premio per il miglior compositing. Nessuna vittoria, invece, per Harry Potter e i Doni della Morte: Parte 2, che aveva ottenuto cinque nomination.
