GRAVITY LEADS VISUAL EFFECTS SOCIETY NOMINATIONS... OFC

I've pasted these straight from the VES website. I mean, rly, was I ever gonna retype all of this?! I would for most other groups, though not for something as expansive as this, nor for the MPSE nominees (on their way soon!). Gravity receives the most nominations, with eight. Pacific Rim receives six and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and Iron Man 3 five each. The 12th of February is when winners will be announced.
