What a night! I'm so proud of my collegues at @ILMVFX and for the win tonight for the work we did on #TheRingsOfPower! Thank you #VESAwards and @LOTRonPrime!

[Laurent Kermel @laurentkermel]

My VES award arrived last week and it was time to reunite all my life achievements in one picture! Look at these two - Carole kept playing with the little built-in light while Lucy simply tried to eat the whole thing. #TheRingsOfPower #VESAwards

Tip of the day: If you ever win an award, don't forget to thank your wife. #happywifehappylife #VESAwards

[Laurent Kermel @laurentkermel]

@tvaziri I was there and I can confirm. I was also impressed that he knew all of them by name. How cool is that? A great director and a great man!

Here is what I've been working on these past few months. Interestingly, and at the same time, we had a REAL ant invasion at the house... coincidence? I don't think so. #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania #Quantumania

Congratulations to the team that helped bring Middle-earth to life for their 7 nominations in the #VESAwards!

@brobbeh Surreal and beyond sad. Wasn't ready either....

[Laurent Kermel @laurentkermel]

@brobbeh My electricity bill has also doubled in the past couple of years. Also, power goes down each time there's wind or rain outside.

Good one DDay_History, good one! :)

@tvaziri Those star destroyers were the most exciting shot I ever worked on! I still have chills when I watch it, such a great sequence! Hi Todd! ;)

[Mark Hamill @MarkHamill]

Filmed 4 months after we wrapped principal photography on #ESB, it wasn't a "re-shoot", it was an added scene. Concerned about the downbeat ending & thorough defeat of the protagonists, they wanted to add an uplifting moment of hope & rejuvenation to reassure the audience.

Chills #ObiWanKenobi

[Obi-Wan Kenobi @obiwankenobi]

Between darkness and defeat, hope survives.

Watch the new teaser trailer for #ObiWanKenobi, and start streaming the limited series May 25 on @DisneyPlus.

@iguannie Incredible game and incredible story! :)
