It is that time of year again! It’s a time when all the best movies get ignored for artsy-fartsy films. This year Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has been nominated for 2 awards in the Best Visual Effects category, and the Best Sound Mixing category. The movie has some pretty tough competition with the likes of Doctor Strange, Hacksaw Ridge, and La La Land. Hopefully the film can earn at least one of these win.
