Warner Bros’ sci-fi feature Blade Runner 2049 and Disney-Pixar’s Coco were among the films to receive recognition at the 2018 Lumiere Awards presented by the Advanced Imaging Society.
The event, held tonight in the Steven J. Ross Theater on the Warner Bros lot in Burbank, recognizes innovation in 3D, virtual and augmented reality and other technologies that expand the possibilities in visual entertainment.
