The Visual Effects Society is handing out its 20th annual VES Awards tonight at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, and Deadline is updating the winners list as they are announced. Have a look below.
Warner Bros’ Dune and Disney’s animated Encanto come into tonight with a leading six nominations apiece for a year when people began heading back to movie theaters. The Disney+ Marvel series Loki is next with four noms to lead all series.
Encanto won the first award for feature films tonight, for Outstanding Virtual Cinematography in a CG Project.
The show was going to be hosted by veteran Patton Oswalt, but he has a broken leg. So the organization called for backup: Drew Carey. Alas, he had “an emergency” and couldn’t make it either.
It kicked off with a wild VFX reel set to Kiss’ “Rock and Roll All Nite,” followed by some an announcements — including one that VES’ international reach will be reflected in the web domain VESglobal.com and that the inaugural VES Technology Award will be launched at next year’s gala.
There also was a shout-out to VFX legends Douglas Trumbull (2001: A Space Odyssey, Close Encounters Blade Runner) and Bill Taylor (Blade Runner, Star Trek: The Next Generation), who died during the past year.
Since the VES Awards’ launch in 2002, the main film winner has gone on to take the Visual Effects Oscar in 10 of the 19 years — but neither of the past two. Last year, Netflix’s The Midnight Sky won the VES honor, but Warner Bros’. Tenet took the Academy Award. In 2020, Disney’s The Lion King pawed the VES Award ahead of Universal’s 1917 winning the Oscar.
Set for special honors tonight are two-time Oscar winner and current nominee Guillermo del Toro (VES Award for Creative Excellence) — who is under the weather and not in attendance — and Lucasfilm EVP/GM Lynwen Brennan (VES Lifetime Achievement Award).
The Visual Effects Society is celebrating its 25th anniversary, and its awards recognize the year’s best in outstanding visual effects artistry and innovation across film, TV, commercials, video games and special venues.
