Avatar Dominates Visual Effects Society Nominations




The week keeps on getting better for James Cameron's 'Avatar.'

The sci-fi epic, which just passed the $500 million mark at the box-office, picked up a whopping 11 nominations from the Visual Effects Society on Monday, according to theHollywood Reporter.

Among the nominations it received included Best Visual Effects in an Effects-Driven Motion Picture, where it will square off against '2012,' 'District 9,' 'Star Trek' and 'Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen.'

Nominated for Supporting Visual Effects in a Movie were 'Angels & Demons,' 'The Box,' 'The Road,' 'Sherlock Holmes' and 'Invictus' (apparently, they love airplanes).

On the animated side, nominations were handed out to '9,' 'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs,' 'Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs,' 'Up' and 'Coraline,' which earned the second-most nods, with four.

Last night, 'Avatar' also scored big at the 67h annual Golden Globes, where it won Best Picture Drama and Best Director.
