 Best Visual Effects Oscar 2013 This is a STACKED year. I have seen four definite contenders already: Oz The Great and Powerful, Star Trek into Darkness, Iron Man 3 and Oblivion. Might be the most contenders-heavy year ever.

Re: Best Visual Effects Oscar 2013 One reason I voted for Elysium is I believe it will be received very warmly by critics and stand out as an original science fiction film envisioning a futuristic world versus the exhausted ground represented by, say, Thor: The Dark World.

Re: Best Visual Effects Oscar 2013 Gravity is a pretty glaring omission here - it actually has a solid chance at winning if it breaks into the major categories.

Re: Best Visual Effects Oscar 2013 No, it won't. The only superhero movie of the current wave to win was Spider-Man 2. Say what you will about Man of Steel, but it is not universally beloved like that film was. The Oscars are about politics and as great as the effects were, I'm sure that a movie nominated for Best Picture like Gravity will win instead.

That said, I also don't think Man of Steel will win. I think The Hobbit might win it this time, if the effects of Smaug are a knockout. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Re: Best Visual Effects Oscar 2013 Excel wrote: Transformers CLEARLY should have won in 2007. Agreed. I think the Oscars had something against rewarding Michael Bay, even though those effects were game changers.

Re: Best Visual Effects Oscar 2013 I find Davy Jones more impressive than anything in Transformers.

Re: Best Visual Effects Oscar 2013 Oh, right, 2007 was At World's End, not Dead Man's Chest.

Re: Best Visual Effects Oscar 2013 Transformers was the deserving nominee and should have won. The Golden Compass' win is a joke, the biggest I have ever seen in this category ever since I have started following the Oscars.

Re: Best Visual Effects Oscar 2013 I did like the effects in The Golden Compass (one of the few good things actually), but yeah, Transformers should have beaten it.
It's way too early to say what will win the category this year. I'll be rooting for The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug. Pacific Rim will probably get a nom. Iron Man 3 and/or Man of Steel could. Personally I'm rooting against Oz, though the effects were generally great, the Wicked Witch was done so poorly that I really don't want it to win anything.
List as of now...
Hobbit
Pacific Rim
Star Trek
Man of Steel
Iron Man 3
But that could change a lot by the time the awards are here.

If it breaks into major categories, it may have to do so without box office success. At my screening of Man of Steel, the trailer got a VERY negative reaction.
