Moving along with my predictions for the quickly approaching Oscar season, it's time to yak about another techincal category, that pesky award known as Best Visual Effects.
All three of the nominated films are swimming in computer generated effects work which has come a long way even in the past few years. Say what you will about last year's The Fountain, yet that was a film that was end-to-end with in-camera
Best Visual Effects Nominees:
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Poseidon
Superman Returns
When the mass majority of people think of Pirates, they think of Johnny Depp, nice locales and an extremely bloated running time. I don't think they'll remember the effects work that went into Davy Jones. As for Posiedon, it will enjoy the fact it was nominated, but there's no way the digital waves and boat will walk away with an award.
Superman Returns has the most thorough visual look, makes flying look easy and uses its computer imagery to forward the story of the real Superman III, and thus will grab the award.
Who Will Win: Superman Returns
Who Should Win: Superman Returns
