Impact Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Well The Jungle Book is the early frontrunner right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I'm not sure how much of Billy Lynn is effects work but if it gets hosannas I could see it being the favorite here. Maybe Story of Your Life if not that. The rest I'm guessing will be Rogue One, Fantastic Beasts, The Jungle Book and The BFG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 Why would a sports film be nominated here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 It's also a war movie and people are going gaga over the framerate, I dunno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 The Jungle Book Story of Your Life Doctor Strange Billy Lynn Rogue One I think TJB is likely taking this home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I think Civil War shouldn't be underestimated. TWS was able to get nominated and CW has more visual effects. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 This category keeps getting more and more competitive. Lots of potentially visually great movies coming out this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maleficent wasn't nominated in this category. This category usually goes for films that are contenders (especially as we saw last year with no less than three Best Picture nominees) or the biggest hits. The Jungle Book is the only movie locked for a nomination among movies seen so far based on box office and reception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Right, Maleficent was nominated for best costume, my bad. and yeah it usually skews that way. but not always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-Machina won because of Vikander Full Frontal, THAT was the biggest special effect of the movie. These effects could have been done with any intern from a mid-tier VFX company.

Rorschach Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I think Jungle Book has this one in the bag. I would be really surprised if anything is better at this point. Rogue One will for sure be nominated. Everything else is really a toss-up Big Frontrunners: The Jungle Book Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Other Likely Candidates: Arrival (Story of your Life) The BFG Captain America: Civil War Deepwater Horizon Doctor Strange Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them A Monster Calls Passengers Star Trek Beyond Possible but Unlikely: Alice Through the Looking Glass Assassin's Creed Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Ben-Hur Independence Day: Resurgence The Legend of Tarzan Suicide Squad Warcraft X-Men: Apocalypse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I definitely don't think Jungle Book is locked; Ex Machina proved that most CGI=/=the best. I'd say Strange wins right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
