The eighth annual VES Awards were held Sunday night at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles. Star Trek was nominated in two of the feature film categories: Best Visual Effects in a Visual Effects Driven Motion Picture (Burt Dalton, Russell Earl, Roger Guyett, & Shari Hanson), and Best Matte Paintings (Brett Northcutt, Shane Roberts, Masahiko Tani, &Dan Wheaton). As expected, the effects artists from James Cameron’s Avatar triumphed in both of those categories. "

Two Star Trek veterans came away a winners for their TV work. David Morton and Gary Hutzel shared the Best Visual Effects in a Broadcast Series award (along with Michael Gibson and Jesse Toves) for their work on Battlestar Galactica ("Daybreak"). Morton worked on both Voyager and Enterprise, Hutzel worked on TNG and DS9.
