A protest at this year's Academy Awards is taking place today to draw
attention to the current state of the visual effects industry. While
visual effects films are making billions of dollars at the box office,
visual effects facilities are declaring bankruptcy
and going out of business. The situation has never been more bizarre
and ironic than the recent bankruptcy announcement of Rhythm & Hues,
the visual effects shop that created the creatures of "Life of Pi", a
film that has earned $580M worldwide, and, which many believe is the frontrunner to win the Oscar for visual effects at today's awards show.
