The Hollywood Academy has announced the ten shortlisted films for the Oscar for Best Special Effects, films that will be reduced to seven after a subsequent screening and finally to five for the awards ceremony.
As expected among these shortlisted films are big favorites to the statuette in this category as «Life of Pi","The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey»Or«The Avengers«.
The films shortlisted for the Oscar of the best specials of this next edition are the following:
- "The Amazing Spider-Man"
- "Cloud Atlas"
- "The Dark Knight Rises"
- "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey"
- "John Carter"
- "Life of Pi"
- "The Avengers"
- "Prometheus"
- "Skyfall"
- "Snowwhite and the legend of the hunter"
It is surprising to see among the shortlisted the film that has generated the most losses for a production company «John Carter«, A film that had such a failure that it lost Disney around 200 million dollars.
It is also strange not to see in this list the Spanish film «Impossible»By JA Bayona, which could at least have passed this pre-selection over films like«Snowwhite and the legend of the hunter»Or«The Amazing Spider-Man«.
