After watching the crazy amount of special features from the new set due out next week, I'm convinced more than ever that this film needs to win for special effects. What they achieved in this film and how incredibly real it all looks is simply amazing. While I was already incredibly impressed with what they achieved prior to watching the special features, I am tenfold more impressed after watching all of the work that goes into this process. Stellar stuff. They deserve to win ... hands down ... especially with what they did to Chicago in this film.

It deserves to win for visual effects, certainly. Unfortunately, Planet of the Apes is gonna take it most likely. It also deserves sound awards...all three do.

I didn't even think ROTF got nominated for visual. Which was total BS, if you ask me.

I thought the effects were terrible in RotF. You could clearly see the white line around everything CGI. That's a sign of poorly done effects. Plus, everything was so fast, I was hard to tell what was going on.
It probably didn't even get looked at because of what a bad movie it was.

Anyone else watching Hollywood's Super Bowl? Here's hoping Transformers Dark of the Moon wins something. It definitely deserves Visual Effects.

The Academy Awards have ended and
Transformers Dark of the Moon has come up empty handed. The film was nominated in three categories:
Visual Effects,
Sound Editing, and
Sound Mixing. Unfortunately for us the Martin Scorsese directed
Hugo also received nominations in those three categories and managed to sweep all three. Guess we'll have to settle for "It's an honor just to be nominated" and hope for better luck next time. We do have another Transformers film to look forward to in 2014 after all!
Film School Reject's Robert Fure by way of
Michael Bay's official website:
Achievement in Sound Editing
Hugo wins here, which is stupid. Drive was nominated because it was loud and realistic, but I don’t think that overcomes Transformers: Dark of the Moon, which created an amazing and realistic immersive experience that was well thought out. Say what you will about the movie or Bay, but the film is cutting edge and sounded amazing.
Achievement in Sound Mixing
Again, Hugo doesn’t hold a candle to Transformers. The action film is ignored because it’s perceived as being big, loud, and stupid, when it is actually big, loud, and technically crafted amazingly in several departments. Hate the film, you can’t ignore the layers of sound work here.
Achievement in Visual Effects + This is What’s Wrong with the Oscars Part 2
The childish Hugo again wins, inexplicably. I don’t think Deathly Hallows had the consistency in its effects work to win here. Many were cheering Rise of the Planet of the Apes, but I don’t think that wins here either – what was the achievement? More facial mocap? Big whoop. The technology being utilized here is Lord of the Rings stuff plus the hair texturing of King Kong. It’s not groundbreaking. I liked Real Steel, which had some pretty great effects, but the king of the pile here is Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
This is again what’s wrong with the Oscar’s. They don’t want to give Transformers an Academy Award, despite the fact that it is utterly amazing visually. Michael Bay has a bad reputation in some professional circles and a lot of people consider him to be a bad director – so what? This isn’t about good people and this category actually isn’t about “good” movies. Transformers is at least competent in every department, but when it comes to visual effects, this film is retardedly amazing. The robots move more realistically than the apes in Rise, and they seamlessly interact with the physical environment. The effects are blended perfectly.
Further, the film breaks ground in processing power and what’s possible on the screen. Each of the Transformers is made up of hundreds, if not tens of thousands, of pieces that are animated. There was a time when just putting one of those guys on screen was impossible, yet now a battle can rage with dozens of Transformers fighting dozens of flying vehicles while buildings collapse in the background. This just isn’t about the robots, it’s about the entire digital landscape collapsing around them. Dark of the Moon was **** robbed.
Visual Effects- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
- Hugo - Winner
- Real Steel
- Rise of the Planet of the Apes

- Hugo - Winner

Sound Mixing- The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
- Hugo - Winner

Agreed, the whole thing is a joke. I'm surprised anyone takes it seriously when they make decisions like that.

How come the oscars are bullshit? They probably saw all the special effects and were like, woo... crazy i guess... well, from what I actually made out from all the craziness... And then they forget about it, coz it leaves no lasting impression.
Its not just about how crazy the visuals are, its about how effectively they are applied. I don't really care about the oscars, but if thats how they were rating special effects, I completely agree.

just because a movie has alot of effects doesnt mean it should win anything, especially when the cg isnt even that great. They CGI in DOTM wasnt bad but it wasnt great either. when you see cg in the movie you know its cg cause it looks like cg, great cg should look like its a real life prop on the set not like it was added in later. It would be one thing if they did something nwe bit they didnt, the effects looked the same as the first movie. Out of all the movies there either planet of the apes or harry potter should've won, not a fan of either movie but the effects were awesome. but as we all know its the oscars so the things that should win never do.

And so the onslaught of fan boys begins...
"Oscars are bullshit WAH!"
"Oscars are fixed WAH!"
"Nobody cares about Oscars anyway WAH!"
Sorry guys, Hugo was extremely well received. DOTM was not. Everyone knew it had no chance of winning.

Yep, it's Hollywood loving on Hollywood. And in that world, Martin Scorsese beats out Michael Bay every time.
