So basically I got screwed!

I got an email back, this is a copy from Asia as I suspected, I guess to keep costs down it's the "basic" version with just the movie.

Oh well I'll wait for the local release now to see the extras!

BTW - they did offer a refund but since that's just on the movie it's not worth the $7au to send it back IMO, look at it this way I have a copy that most other people won't

Im sorryy Craig that you got screwed.

Evan Almighty made the Oscar's visual effects short list (well final 7, it'll need a miracle to make the final 3).

Quote:

Oscar's visual effects list set
'Evan,' 'Transformers' make final cut
By DAVID S. COHEN
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences’ visual effects branch genuflected to “Evan Almighty” but swatted “Spider-Man 3” as it announced the seven semifinalists for the vfx Oscar.
The seven films that will compete in the effects “bakeoff” are “The Bourne Ultimatum,” “Evan Almighty,” “The Golden Compass,” “I Am Legend,” “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End,” “300” and “Transformers.”

U entries “Evan Almighty” and “Bourne Ultimatum” were darkhorses in the field, especially the former, which received little campaign support from U or its lead vfx houses, Rhythm & Hues and Industrial Light & Magic.

“I’m surprised we made it,” said Bill George, ILM visual effects supervisor on “Evan Almighty.” “We’re the red-headed stepchild of the film industry.”

Both ILM and R&H fared well on the bakeoff list. ILM was the lead on “Transformers” and a key contributor to “Pirates,” while R&H did the animal work on New Line’s “The Golden Compass.”

Conspicuous by its absence was Sony’s “Spider-Man 3.” The second installment in the Spidey franchise won the vfx Oscar two years ago, and the third film’s “birth of the Sandman” sequence is one of the year's most buzzed-about effects sequences. The studio’s other contender, “The Water Horse,” with creature work from Weta Digital, also fell short.

On the other hand, the studio’s vfx house, Sony Pictures Imageworks, drew some consolation when “I Am Legend” made the list. Pic is one of two Warner releases to make the cut; the other was “300.”

Its inclusion reflects the continuing blurring of Academy categories -- in this case, production design and visual effects -- as digital filmmaking techniques become more ubiquitous.

Warner’s “Harry Potter” franchise, a perennial bridesmaid in the category, did not make the shortlist this year.

Two animated films, “Beowulf” and “Ratatouille,” made the longlist of contenders, marking the first time toons received consideration for the vfx Oscar, but neither made the cut.

The bakeoff will be held Jan. 16 at the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater.

The film was also a leader in the new HD DVD technology.

Thanks Nadine!

because this movie is nominated-- does that mean lauren will be at the awards?

perrygraham · 01-07-2008, 08:29 AM

I doubt that since Lauren had nothing to do with the visual effects.

Thanks Nadine.

I don´t know why but it made me laugh.

Thanks Nadine.

i don't know why i bother--

-Denise- · 01-07-2008, 09:22 AM

Thanks Nadine. Funny how it made the list, because the movie itself didn't got that great articles. But well it's totally different of course, but still. At least something was good then

perrygraham · 01-07-2008, 10:18 AM

Well I've to say I would be a little bit offended if a movie I'm acting in gets bad reviews all the time and the only award recognition would be for special effects.

-Denise- · 01-07-2008, 10:32 AM

Well sure, but better than nothing

karen29 · 01-07-2008, 11:54 AM

Thanks Nadine, good to hear it got nominated to something, that usually means some sort of new promotion for the movie so ...

That's like your show only getting an award for best make-up

And I'm way surprised EA is on that list, especially compared to the others. Way intense visual effects vs. a breaking dam and a floating boat...

Well at least GG will always have a perfect nom to win ratio

I'm not sure it will make the short list. we know a huge chunk of the budget went on the visual but it's a tough year to be in this category!

Thanks Nadine
