The Academy’s own Visual Effects Branch Executive Committee has determined this as the preliminary list of films that are eligible for further awards consideration.
In an era of big-budget spectacle films and ubiquitous CGI, the Oscar race for Best Visual Effects is more competitive than ever before.
Today, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences just announced that the list of contenders has been whittled down to 20.
Before the end of December, the committee will cut this list in half, with the 10 remaining films being eligible for nominations voting.
