'Iron Man' Leads Visual Effects Society Nominees
Monday, January 19, 2009 at 12:06PM
I was particularly impressed by the creation of Iron Man in the film of the same name last summer. As much as I dug Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, the real star, for me, was that Iron Man suit, a terrific visual effect that has now earned the film some nominations for the upcoming Visual Effects Society Awards.

There are way too many awards to go through, because the VES has a broad scope that includes TV series, commercials, movies, and video games, but the highlights for our purposes are that Iron Man leads the nominees with five total, followed by four each for The Dark Knight, Indiana Jones, and Bolt.
