“The Lord of the Rings,” the franchise that took home the visual-effects Academy Award for 2001, is in the running for that category again this year with six other films.
Besides “The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers,” eligible films announced Wednesday for the visual- effects nominations were “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,” “Men in Black II,” “Minority Report,” “Spider-Man,” “Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones” and “XXX.”
Members of the visual- effects nominating committee will view 15-minute clip reels from each movie Feb. 5 and will pick three nominees, which will be announced Feb. 11. The Oscars will be awarded March 23.
