Cartoon Brew has the full list of the nominees for the Visual Effects Society Awards. Gravity led all films with eight nominations while The Croods, Epic, and Frozen led the animation titles with four each. Also of special note is the nod for Sandra Bullock’s character from Gravity, Ryan Stone, in the Outstanding Animated Character in a Live-Action Feature Motion Picture category. “Animators know that both her appearance and performance in that film were made possible largely through their efforts. To acknowledge the crucial role of animators in the evolving world of filmmaking… animators Max Solomon, Mathieu Vig, Michael Brunet, and David Shirk share this historic nomination for the Ryan Stone character”.
