Patton Oswalt returns to host The VES Awards.
This is the start of the 'silly season' with regards to awards shows in the entertainment industry. This is why it is so nice to have an evening of their own to celebrate the work done over the past year.
The Visual Effects Society (VES) has announced that Patton Oswalt (Young Adult, Ratatouille) will host the 10th Annual VES Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Tuesday, February 7, 2012. This will be the popular comedian and actor's third appearance at the VES Awards, which recognize the most outstanding visual effects work of the year and honor the artists who created it.
"These are the people who build worlds. Hell yeah, do I want to see 'em get their own night," said Oswalt.
"Patton was a presenter at our sixth Annual Awards show in 2008 and he brought the house down, so we were thrilled when he came on board to host the event last year," said Eric Roth, Executive Director of the Visual Effects Society. "He has often said that he feels like one of us. While he deeply appreciates the critical role visual effects plays in creating entertainment, he can also get a thousand people in tuxedos to laugh their butts off, so that truly makes him one of our stars."
In this 10th Annual VES Awards ceremony, Stan Lee will be honored with the VES 2012 Lifetime Achievement Award and Douglas Trumbull with the Georges Méliès Award. The VES Awards will take place on Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel and will air exclusively on ReelzChannel.
