Congrats to all the nominees. So, who do you think is going to take out the prize?
It will be either “The Lion King” or (rather) “The Irishman”. I assume the VFX Oscar will (and should) be awarded to movies with groundbreaking effects which shape the future of animation & VFX and not just complicated & procedural particle setups. 😉
