Variety is reporting that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I has been short-listed for the Academy Award for Achievement in Visual Effects!  Back in December it was long-listed, and now a panel of judges have selected it as one of the finalists.

It has been nominated alongside “Alice in Wonderland,” “Hereafter,” “Inception,” “Iron Man,” “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World” and “Tron: LEGACY.”
