Oscars 2013 Live: Life Of Pi Wins Best Visual Effects & Cinematography

LIFE-OF-PI-IMAGE022 Ang Lee's visually stunning fantasy Life Of Pi has somewhat unsurprisingly walked away with the two biggest visual awards at tonight's Oscars ceremony. The double award is a fitting tribute to Lee's incredible aesthetic, and testament to the work done on the film by the visual team. It was certainly the most striking film of the year, and the special effects that went into the starring tiger were simply astonishing. The film beat Skyfall, Anna Karenina, Django Unchained and Lincoln to the Cinematography award, and The Hobbit, Prometheus, The Avengers and Snow White And The Huntsman to Best Visual Effects. The Best Cinematography gong was picked up by Claudio Miranda, while the award for Best Visual Effects was picked up by Bill Westenhofer, Guillaume Rocheron, Erik-Jan De Boer and Donald R. Elliott collect this one. Elsewhere Anna Karenina was awarded the Best Costumes Oscar, and Les Miserables picked up Best Hair & Makeup. Do you agree with the awards for Life Of Pi?
