Daxtreme Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 The Academy tends to pick movies that are well-received for this category. Not that they always do, but tend to do. My 5 picks for this category are Star Wars The Martian Mad Max: Fury Road Ant-Man Ex Machina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 You know-unless if Star Wars is nominated for picture, there is a good chance it will lose as no BP nominee in this category has ever lost to a film not nominated for BP (assuming of course Martian and Mad Max are here and in BP) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirafficPark Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I hope TFA doesnt win this, I didn't think any of its visuals were that special. It looked good, but nothing was that stand-out. For the same reason it doesnt deserve a BP nom. It was entertaining enough, but didnt excel at anything really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I don't think Star Wars really stood a legit chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goffe Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 it's easily between MM and TFA in my opinion. Maz might be the most realistic CGi character ever created and the movie makes an extensive use of practical effects. I still don't know whether that guy that buys things from Rey was CGI or practical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
