'Inception' and 'How to Train Your Dragon' Top Visual Effects Society Awards
Plus some 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' love
Last night the Visual Effects Society announced their awards for the films of 2010 and the big winner was Inception with four awards including the award for Outstanding Visual Effects in a Visual-Effects Driven Feature Motion Picture. Coming in second in the awards tally was DreamWorks's How to Train Your Dragon with three including Outstanding Animation in an Animated Feature Motion Picture and Clint Eastwood's Hereafter won for Outstanding Supporting Visual Effects in a Feature Motion Picture.
Both Inception and Hereafter are nominated for the Best Visual Effects Oscar alongside Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 and Iron Man 2. The four wins for Inception certainly go a long way to suggesting it is the front-runner for the Oscar.

Just because Inception won big here, doesn't always mean it will win Oscar's equivilant.
Take the 2007/2008 race for example: Transformers swept the VES awards but lost Oscar's equivilent to the not-so-seen, but actually rather decent Golden Compass.
That year is just the one of the two instances though wherein the winner of the VES did not win in the Oscars. In all other years, the winner of the VES award also won in the Oscars.
Finally! How To Train Your Dragon trumps Toy Story! Now only if a miracle would arrive at the oscars….
I agree with this 100%.
Im assuming that the VES people are the foremost experts on VE so I would actually question any Oscar result that did not match the VES awards.
