Alfonso Cuaron will receive the Visioinary Award by Visual Effects Society for "Gravity." I've been wondering why Alfonco hadn't been honored any special awards yet, but finally! The ceremony will be held on Feb 12, 2014 in LA, and I'm betting Sandy will attend, so I'm making this separate thread. I could be wrong... but hopefully right. www.visualeffectssociety.com/2014-Visionary-AwardAttachments:

A part of Sandy's presentation. Always funny. variety.com/2014/film/news/visual-effects-society-awards-live-coverage-1201100988/Sandra Bullock presents the Visionary Award to Alfonso Cuaron, salutes the lightbox technology “It will probably become an industry standard, but ‘Gravity’ will always be the first.” Bullock adds “To ensure my makeup-free face coming at you 30-feet high in 3D would not have the effect of a horror-film. For that I’m eternally grateful.” Cuaron tweaked the idea of being a visionary: “There’s a cautionary tale: So often you see ‘From visionary director.’ Usually, they suck, those movies. How many visionaries does it take to change a light bulb? It doesn’t matter, because the light bulb will never change. Visionary is synonymous with ‘Can’t execute.’” But he thanked his team graciously.
