This year, all is well in Hollywood and its myriad of algorithmic prediction polls. Beginning in September with the Emmys and culminating on the first Sunday in March with the Oscars, the frontrunner, <i>Gravity,<\/i> took most of the honors home, despite a notable pass from the Academy on Sandra Bullock\u2019s frame dominating leading role.<\/p>\n<p>In the Best Cinematography field, <i>Gravity<\/i> DP Emmanuel Lubezki, ASC, AMC couldn\u2019t be stopped, winning at the BAFTAs, the Oscars, and the American Society of Cinematographers Awards (ASC). Last year\u2019s <i>Life of Pi <\/i>and Claudio Miranda, ASC may have set a precedent for allotting cinematography prizes for VFX-heavy spectacles, and this year that trend was solidified as an industry standard.<\/p>\n<p>Accepting the ASC Award (two weeks before his Oscar), Lubezki said, \u201cI share this with my friend and teacher [<i>Gravity <\/i>director] Alfonso Cuar\u00f3n, [visual effects supervisor] Tim Webber and the visual effects team.\u201d Lubezki went on to thank their computers as well, and additional collaborators, like Technicolor color grader Steve Scott. Upon winning the Oscar, the native Mexican DP, thanked the same group, adding in \u201cthe team of Framestore nerds that made this trip possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"   \" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/images\/The-Space-Time-Continuum_1.jpg\" width=\"590\" height=\"380\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Oscar-winning VFX team from Gravity (L to R) Neil Corbould, David Shirk, Tim Webber, Chris Lawrence \/ Photo by Davis Barber \/ \u00a9A.M.P.A.S.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Backstage, Cuar\u00f3n shed light on the reverse engineering of <i>Gravity\u2019s<\/i> process. \u201cA conventional film has post\u2011production,\u201d he said. \u201cVisual effects are part of post and cinematography has very little relationship with visual effects. [But] here\u2019s a film in which editing, visual effects and cinematography started two years before we began shooting in order to be able to integrate all those elements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>Gravity<\/i>\u2019s VFX team at Framestore, led by Webber, Chris Lawrence, David Shirk and Neil Corbould, also took home an Oscar, ultimately giving the film seven Academy Awards (director, editing, cinematography, visual effects, original score, sound mixing and sound editing). <i>Gravity<\/i> also took home hardware \u2013 including Outstanding Models for the ISS Exterior, Outstanding FX and Simulation for the parachute and ISS destruction, best Virtual Cinematography and best VFX in a Live Action Feature \u2013 at the 12<sup>th<\/sup> Annual Visual Effects Awards in early February. This marks the ninth time the winner of the top category at the VES Awards has gone on to win the visual effects Oscar.<\/p>\n<p>Disney\u2019s CGI team from <i>Frozen<\/i> also left the VES Awards with smiles on their faces, winning the Animated Feature category for Outstanding Animation, Animated Character, Created Environment for Elsa\u2019s Ice Palace, and FX and Simulation Animation for Elsa\u2019s Blizzard, to name a few. <i>Game of Thrones<\/i> and <i>PETA: 98% Human <\/i>each won three awards in their categories. Surprisingly, Peter Jackson\u2019s <i>The Hobbit<\/i> only took home one award \u2013 Outstanding Animated Character in a Live Action Feature for the dragon, Smaug, designed by a team at Weta.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"   \" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/images\/The-Space-Time-Continuum_2.jpg\" width=\"590\" height=\"402\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Science and Technology Council Chairman Richard Edlund (left) and Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs onstage at the Scientific and Technical Achievement Oscars \/ Photo by Jordan Murph \/ \u00a9A.M.P.A.S.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Host Patton Oswalt set the tone by welcoming guests to the first annual <i>Gravity<\/i> awards: \u201cWe all know what\u2019s going to happen tonight,\u201d Oswalt quipped, \u201cSo just drink up and relax.\u201d And true to fashion, even Bullock made a surprise appearance to present the VES Visionary Award to Cuar\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>As the evening began, VES Executive Director Eric Roth and Chair Jeffrey A. Okun spoke about the high level of integrity in the visual effects community. \u201cThis award requires a sense of seriousness and close observation,\u201d said Roth. \u201cBy doing what we do,\u201d Okun added, \u201cour process has the most integrity of any awards show there is, bar none. When you are nominated, your work and your artistry have truly withstood the full rigors of a careful process. And if you win, you can feel that inner satisfaction of knowing that you truly deserved it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The event also honored John Dykstra \u2013 VFX Oscar-winner for <i>Star Wars<\/i> and <i>Spider-Man 2<\/i> \u2013 with a Lifetime Achievement Award, presented by Douglas Trumbull.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"   \" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/images\/The-Space-Time-Continuum_3.jpg\" width=\"590\" height=\"885\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">John A.

The nod to Bobbit, as well as Guild DP\u2019s Christopher Blauvelt (<i>Low <\/i>Down) win for Best Cinematography in January, reinforced the notion that producers and directors of indie films are seeing the value in using experienced union DP\u2019s. However IndieWire\u2019s Erik Kohn said, the \u201cenvironment is designed to recognize autonomous creativity [yet] still wound up marginalizing it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The untelevised Scientific and Technological Oscars honors the (for real) geniuses behind most of the industry\u2019s technological advances and breakthroughs, and was held two week\u2019s prior to the Oscars. Unlike its big televised cousin, achievements given out at the Sci-Tech Awards need not have been developed or introduced in 2013. Rather, the awards are based on a proven record of significant value to the motion picture industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the most interesting aspects of this industry is the coexistence of science and the art,\u201d said post-production and distribution executive Charles \u201cTad\u201d Marburg who was awarded the John A. Bonner Medal of Commendation for his service to the Academy. \u201cTo the world at large, they appear to be two disparate disciplines. However, I don\u2019t think they are unrelated at all. You cannot have one without the other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"    aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.icgmagazine.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/images\/The-Space-Time-Continuum_4.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Christopher Nolan \u2013 who has shot film on all his projects, including the upcoming <i>Interstellar<\/i> \u2013 presented an Academy Award of Merit that honored all those \u201cwho built and operated film laboratories for over a century of service to the motion picture industry.\u201d He continued: \u201cThis unprecedented award will serve as a permanent reminder of the fine work of these men and women. This recognizes the first 100 years [of motion pictures]. I\u2019m very excited about the next 100 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A notable moment from the evening involved Peter Huang, Chris Perry, Hans Rijpkema and Joe Mancewicz\u2019s and the Technical Achievement Award for their Voodoo application framework for developing character animation toolsets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is for Rhythm &amp; Hues,\u201d they said, \u201cwhose names aren\u2019t on this award. Thank you for your decades of hard work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other awards were given to the team who developed the ASC CDL technology \u2013 a unification of color correction principles for use on- and off-set, to the inventors of the ILM Plume system that simulates and renders fire, smoke and explosions, to Ronald D.
