The visual effects that we are seeing in movies these days are absolutely mind blowing. At this point it doesn't seem like there's any excuse for a film to have bad visual effects unless the people hired lack talent, or the studio is keeping the cash in their pockets.
There's a lot of good nomination this year such as Captain America, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean 4, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Out of all of these I think that Planet of the Apes might take home the top prize, those apes were incredibly freaky looking. Weta did an amazing job with this movie, and out of all the other nominations this was the movie I was most impressed by. What are your thoughts? What movie did you think have the best visual effect in 2011?
Here's the full press release with all of the nominations:

Game of Thrones films in Ireland, which lends authenticity to many of the sets used in the show. But how do they film scenes involving the giant frozen Wall? And do they film at actual castles?
The visual effects company BlueBolt worked on season 1 of Game of Thrones and put together a video explaining which scenes are CGI and how they layered in a lot of the grand sets.
The visual effects team of Adam McInnes, Angela Barson, Lucy Ainsworth-Taylor, Raf Morant, Henry Badgett, Damien Mace, Stuart Brisdon, and Graham Hills have already been nominated for an Emmy for their effects in the season 1 finale "Fire and Blood" - you know, the one with the dragons.
Set to one of my favorite opening themes in recent memory (the Game of Thrones theme itself), the video below is a cool visual treat.
