The Bagels? Hot Dog Fingers? “Everything Everywhere” Keeps Getting Snubbed by Visual Effects Experts

Share

Something is going wrong with “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” The film by Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan relies heavily on visual effects. Indeed, that’s the main crux of the movie, it’s like a kaleidoscope of images from psychedelic bagels to hot dog fingers. Even when you can’t follow the plot, you stay for the pictures.

But the Visual Effects Society gave it no nominations yesterday. And earlier, the film did not make the The Academy short list for visual effects. Maybe a visual effects expert in Hollywood can email me and tell me why at showbiz411@gmail.com. I don’t get it.
