It sucked to watch the winner for VFX get played off when he wanted to talk about Rythym and Hues going bankrupt. It's pretty ironic that the company who brought the Life of Pi tiger to life(and won an Oscar) will be going out of business because Hollywood VFX are getting outsourced to countries who pay their workers nothing -- and a lot of the time use pirated software.
