The Hollywood Reporter announced this morning that Inception had triumphed with the most prestigious honour at the annual Visual Effects Society Awards. Inception won four prizes including the Outstanding Visual Effects in a Visual-Effects Driven Feature Motion Picture which might just be the most awkwardly titled awards category of all time! The award was shared between Paul Franklin (Visual Effects Supervisor), Chris Corbould (special effects supervisor), Mike Chambers (Visual Effects Producer) and Matthew Plummer.
Franklin and Corbould also collaborated together on The Dark Knight and we spoke to Franklin late last year about his work on Inception;
The award has been in existence since 2002 and historically the winners have gone on to achieve Oscar success on all but two occasions and hopefully Inception will go on to do the same in this category. The film did little for me emotionally but the visuals were simply sublime and the perfect example...

Last night, the Visual Effects Society announced the winners of their 9th annual Ves Awards, recognizing…you guessed it! The best in visual effects for films, television, commercials and video games. The big winner of the night was none other than Inception, which shouldn’t come as a huge shock, winning four awards that include Outstanding Visual Effects in a Visual Effects Driven Motion Picture. How to Train Your Dragon was the main victor in the animated film department, a well-deserved win. The big win it nabbed was for Outstanding Animation in an Animated Feature Motion Picture. Hereafter and Deathly Hallows: Part 1 also earned some wins; the latter taking something isn’t a surprise, but the dull, uninspired effects of Hereafter getting both this and an Oscar nod is baffling. Where is the love for the incredible work done on Scott Pilgrim?
