FXRant:

The average Oscar nominee for visual effects earned $763M (up from $662M last year). By comparison, the average nominee for Best Picture this year earned $202M, which is a particularly strong box office year for Best Picture nominees. Leading the pack in the visual effects race was "The Avengers" (which earned $1.5B), "The Hobbit 1" ($956) and "Life of Pi" ($548M).

Just think most movies that came out last year nearly all of them were touched by a post artist. Clean up, Beauty work. You name it it is being done.

As much as I don't agree with the protest today. [I don't like protest of anything visual effects or not. I feel they do nothing and are a waste of time.]

May the Force be with you guys. It is the first time we have all come together at all. That is a start.
