THE MANDALORIAN Garners Most Nominations and Leads the Broadcast, Field SOUL is Top Animated Contender, and PROJECT POWER and THE WITCHES Lead Feature Film Nominations.

Today, the Visual Effects Society (VES), the industry's professional global honorary society, announced the nominees for the 19th Annual VES wards, the prestigious yearly celebration that recognizes outstanding visual effects artistry and innovation in film, animation, television, commercials and video games and the VFX supervisors, VFX producers and hands-on artists who bring this work to life.

THE MANDALORIAN garners the most nominations and leads the broadcast field with 13 nominations. SOUL is the top animated film contender with five nominations. PROJECT POWER and THE WITCHES score three feature nominations each. Nominees in 25 categories were selected by VES members via 32 virtual nomination events conducted across the globe.

Given the state of the pandemic and our commitment to health and safety, this year, the VES Awards are being produced virtually. The program will stream worldwide on April 6 or 7, depending on the time zone.

Traditions find a way to persist, said Lisa Cooke, VES Board Chair. With vision and a lot of hard work, we are proud to host our annual celebration of the artistry, ingenuity and passion of visual effects practitioners around the world - virtually. We are seeing best in class work that elevates the art of storytelling and engages the audience in new and innovative ways. The VES Awards is the only venue that showcases and honors these outstanding artists across a wide range of disciplines, and we are extremely proud of all our nominees!

Autodesk is proud to sponsor the Visual Effects Society Student Award for a 12 th year, supporting incredible up-and-coming talent in the VFX and animation industry, said Jocelyn Moffatt, Entertainment Industry Marketing Manager, Autodesk. In a year fraught with disruption and adapting to new ways of learning and collaborating remotely, it is truly inspiring to see the level of creativity and ingenuity in each of every one of this year's student submissions. Autodesk extends a huge congratulations to this year's nominees.
