Dune: Part Two Leads Feature Film Field; The Wild Robot is Top Animated Contender; Sh gun and The Penguin Tie in the Episodic Field

Today, the Visual Effects Society (VES), the visual effects industry's professional global honorary society, announced the nominees for the 23rd Annual VES Awards, the prestigious yearly celebration that recognizes outstanding visual effects artistry and innovation in features, animation, television, commercials, games and new media, and the VFX Supervisors, VFX Producers and hands-on Artists who bring this work to life. Awards will be presented at the 23rd Annual VES Awards on February 11, 2025 at The Beverly Hilton hotel. (X tags: @VFXSociety #VESAwards)

Dune: Part Two leads the photoreal feature film field with seven (7) nominations. The Wild Robot is the top animated contender with five (5) nominations. Sh gun and The Penguin each received four (4) nominations in the episodic field.

The artistry, ingenuity and passion of visual effects practitioners around the world have come together to create remarkable imagery, said Kim Davidson, VES Chair. We are seeing best in class work that elevates the art of storytelling and exemplifies the spirit of innovation. 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 our nominees.

Nominees in 25 categories were selected by VES members at 49 in-person and virtual nomination panels conducted around the world over a 30-hour continuous process. The distinctive and thoughtful VES Awards nominations protocol included a review of each awards submission including Befores and Afters by a minimum of three different judging panels. Participating VES members on the panels represented 307 cities in 24 countries, highlighting the full breadth of the Society's diverse global membership.

Whether it's through a fully immersive environment, realistic characters, or jaw-dropping action sequences, visual effects artists continue to push the boundaries of creativity and transform the way stories are told, said Diana Colella, Executive Vice President of Media & Entertainment at Autodesk, sponsor of the VES-Autodesk Student Award. This year's student film submissions celebrate the technical talent and creativity of up-and-coming visual effects artists. Congratulations to all the student nominees.
