On Tuesday, the Visual Effects Society announced their nominees for the year’s top honors. The VES is the industry’s only organization representing the full breadth of visual effects artists, animators, technologists and specialists. The group is made up of more than 2,400 members from over 20 countries. This year’s nominees had a heavy hand in creating some of the biggest commercial successes of the year–films frequently overlooked during the awards season–including blockbuster titles like Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Furious 7, San Andreas, and The Peanuts Movie.
