I think PoA stands a great chance at the Visual Effects. I, Robot doesn't come anywhere near PoA (think scenery, think Buckbeak, think the whole flying scene, think the forest). The effects are so gritty and naturalistic that they merge into the film well so that sometimes you're unsure as to what is real and what's computer generated and that's the sign of good artists. Even though Spiderman is going for the comic look and you obviously can't try and naturalise spiderman flying through the air, the effects were just too obvious for my taste.

I'd love to think PoA and John Williams would win the Music Award because it is the best score yet however he does have stiff competition.
