The visual effects branch have refined last month's 15-film shortlist to a more manageable ten. All five of my predicted nominees made the cut as well as a couple others (Captain America and Mission Impossible) that would also make fine nominees if I do say so myself.
Super 8 was in my sixth predicted slot, but having failed to make the cut, I think the next most likely spoiler is Pirates 4. Every film from the franchise has been nominated here, so I'd watch out for a potential surprise.
