Christopher Nolans Inception was the big winner at the Visual Effects Society on Tuesday. His film picked up all four prizes for which it was nominatedOutstanding Visual Effects in a Visual-Effects Driven Feature Motion Picture; Outstanding Created Environment in a Live Action Feature Motion Picture; Outstanding Models amp; Miniatures in a Feature Motion Picture and Outstanding Compositing in a Feature Motion Picture and Nolan himself was honoured with the inaugural visionary award. Actually,this is probably the real comfort to Nolan: he may have been snubbed for a best director Oscar nomination,but he is still among the top five earners in Hollywood in 2010,according to Vanity Fair.
