"Best" in visual fx, sound fx and sound editing. TOTALLY. *Especially* visual fx! Nothing released this year came close to what the visual fx team pulled off with this movie. Every single one of them deserves cupcakes with sprinkles.
Unfortunately the link will only take you to the static studio site. Here, in the upper right corner, for how long I don't know, you can see a little video from the VFX guy talking about how they pulled off one of the really cool sequences. Much better link is here. Click on "lighting and visual effects".
Ooo. I gotta talk about The! Best! Shirt! Ever! I'll do that before this place goes into blackout mode. I'll get that and Rev. Billy down.
Meanwhile: "We used seven helicopters."
