The 71st BAFTA award nominations were announced today and The Last Jedi made a showing, with shouts in the Sound and Special Visual Effects categories.
Director Rian Johnson tipped his hat to the visual effects team.
HUGE congrats to our amazing visual effects team on their @BAFTA nom! Our on set fx team, creature department and @ILMVFX are all (no exaggeration) magical wizard rock star unicorns.
