The Visual Effects Society has nominated Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen for the 8th Annual VES Awards ceremony. The VES award recognizes "outstanding visual effects artistry in over twenty categories of film, animation, television, commercials and video games." The folks in the category Outstanding Visual Effects in a Visual Effects Driven Feature Motion Picture: Scott Benza, Animation Director; Wayne Billheimer, Visual Effects Producer; Scott Farrar, Visual Effects Supervisor; and John Frazier, Special Effects Supervisor. Of interesting note, 2007's Transformers won the 2007 VES Awards ceremony, but lost that year's Oscar to The Golden Compass. If ROTF wins the VES that might mean a better chance at this year's Oscar.
