Denis Villeneuve’s sweeping “Dune” and Disney’s Golden Globe-winning animated musical, “Encanto” each scored six nominations Tuesday to lead the 20th annual Ves Awards nominations (awards ceremony details are in pandemic flux). Marvel’s trippy “Loki,” meanwhile, led the broadcast field with four nominations for the Disney+ series.
Competing for feature visual effects are the frontrunning “Dune,” “Godzilla vs. Kong,” “The Matrix Resurrections,” Daniel Craig’s Bond finale, “No Time to Die,” and Marvel’s “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” and “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” All have been shortlisted for the VFX Oscar, with “Dune” as the heavy favorite, in which Dneg supplied windblown sand, raging sandstorms, flying insect-like ornithopters, and the iconic CG sandworms.
Supporting visual effects nominees include “Candyman,” “Last Night in Soho,” “Nightmare Alley,” “The Last Duel,” and “The Tragedy of Macbeth.”

The Visual Effects Society unveiled nominations Tuesday for its 20th annual Ves Awards, with Warner Bros’ Dune and Disney’s animated Encanto leading all nominees with six apiece, followed by the Disney+ Marvel series Loki which has four noms to lead all broadcast series.
The group, celebrating its 25th anniversary, recognizes the year’s best in outstanding visual effects artistry and innovation across film, animation, television, commercials and video games. With the Omicron variant surging, the Ves Awards ceremony does not have a date or format yet; those decisions are still to be made and tickets are not yet up for sale.
Last year, the Ves Awards went virtual in a ceremony hosted as per usual by Patton Oswalt. Netflix’s The Midnight Sky, Disney/Pixar’s eventual Animated Feature Oscar winner Soul and Disney+’s The Mandalorian were among the marquee winners.
Overall, this year’s nominees in 25 categories...

Whilst Disney seem to be raiding their animated back-catalogue in the hopes of finding their next big cinema hit, abandoning the joyous nature of the animated movie for more dour live-action versions, it’s left to other studios – like Dreamworks, Illumination etc. – to keep the slew of animated kids film coming. Current kings of the CG-animated movie Illumination Entertainment, who also have Despicable Me 3 out later this year, hit cinemas early with Sing, a truly family-orientated film that takes it’s story from the current popularity of the TV talent show.
Sing tells the story of Buster Moon (McConaughey) a koala who grew up with a passion for theatre. However that passion does not...

The only surprises this holiday weekend probably came in the form of your family’s gift exchanges, as Rogue One: A Star Wars Story handily beat the box-office competition. Gareth Edwards’ standalone film continued to dominate in what was only its second weekend in wide release, raking in $64,377,000. That 3-day take brings Rogue One’s total to $286,375,674. Now, that’s only about $40 million more than what The Force Awakens totaled in just its opening weekend last year, but it’s still an impressive showing, though it’s made bittersweet by the concurrent hospitalization and death of Star Wars and Hollywood royalty Carrie Fisher.
Also courting holiday moviegoers was the animated talent-search flick, Sing, which features voicework from Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Taron Egerton, and Scarlett Johansson. Garth Jennings and Christophe Lourdelet’s film made $35,290,000 in its opening weekend, and looks ...

MaryAnn’s quick take… Smart, sweet, gently funny, with a wonderfully exuberant voice performance by Matthew McConaughey that hints at fresh new realms animated movies can reach. I’m “biast” (pro): nothing
I’m “biast” (con): nothing
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
So, since the comparison is inevitable, let’s get this out of the way right now: Yes, Sing — from Illumination, the upstart animation studio that also gave us the Despicable Me movies and The Secret Life of Pets, among others — bears a lot of similarities to Disney’s Zootopia. (Heh: “bears.”) Both are set in worlds in which many species of anthropomorphized animals live together in relative harmony in a postindustrial civilization that looks remarkably like what humans have created, yet there is no evidence of humans anywhere. But that’s about the extent of it. The two movies are very different...

Nominations for the 41st Annual Annie Awards were announced and "Frozen" and "Monsters University" led the pack with 10 nominations each. "Despicable Me 2" and "The Croods" followed closely with 9 noms each.
I am rooting for "Frozen" to win! It's a return to form to what Disney does best -- affecting fairy tale with memorable musical numbers. "Monsters University," on the other hand, was bland. The film bored me on second viewing.
Steven Spielberg will receive the Winsor McCay Award for career achievement at the awards ceremony happening on Saturday, Feb. 1, at Royce Hall on the UCLA campus. Patrick Warburton will serve as host.
