Schmucks, are you surprised?
Really, is any one at all surprised that Avatar won the Visual Effects Oscar. Except perhaps the Kollywood clowns who probably ‘think’ Aayirathil Oruvan should have been in the list.
Describing Avatar as a visual tour de force, SearchIndia.com wrote in the review of the film:
Avatar is the most visually gorgeous movie we’ve seen in our life.
A stunningly beautiful riot of colors in 3D, Avatar is a must-not-miss film for all movie buffs.
Folks, Avatar is the first 3D movie that really brings home the magic of the technology to awe you.
Every other 3D movie we’ve seen before is an impostor in comparison.
We watched Avatar in a movie hall on the East Coast that uses DLP technology from Texas Instruments (unfortunately, the nearest IMAX theater is over 150 miles round-trip).
Here are Avatar’s effete rivals:
District 9 (2009): Dan Kaufman, Peter Muyzers, Robert Habros, Matt Aitken
Star Trek (2009): Roger Guyett, Russell Earl, Paul Kavanagh, Burt Dalton
Avatar (Mauro Fiore) won the top honors in the Cinematography category at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards tonight.
Here were the other films in the running:
Das weisse Band – Eine deutsche Kindergeschichte (2009): Christian Berger
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009): Bruno Delbonnel
The Hurt Locker (2008): Barry Ackroyd
Inglourious Basterds (2009): Robert Richardson
