The Oscar board has chosen its seven contenders for Best Visual Effects at next year's ceremony and there's love for Revenge of the Sith and King Kong, but nothing for Sin City.
The other five places on the list will be taken by Batman Begins, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and War of the Worlds. Three from the shortlist will then be chosen as the final nominees.
