The Visual Effects Society Awards 2020
Yes, I’m covering it from afar, sitting in my study in Melbourne. But I can see you all over there with your penguin suits on, and I’m posting what I see on the many social media channels during the evening (Los Angeles) presentation at the International Ballroom no less. Congratulations to all winners and contenders. It sure looks like it is going to be a great night. With Oswalt Patton compering, there’s sure to be a lean on Gervais’ record. But does he care??
Here we go.
