Impact Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 4 hours ago, Rorschach said: 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 Other possible ones could be that you can add: Pete's Dragon, Miss Peregrine's Home for Children, Ninja Turtles 2, Ghostbusters, Bourne (highly unlikely, but could be in the shortlist-remember Bond and Mission Impossible have both been mentioned multiple times there), Huntsman 2 (highly doubtful), Ouiji 2 (wait wrong award show) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the others weren't really that great effects-wise (Bourne I could see getting ignored). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say Strange wins right now. I could see Doctor Strange being nominated but not necessarily winning. My choices would probably be Jungle Book, Rogue One, Doctor Strange, Arrival, and Star Trek Beyond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannastop Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Dr. Strange just won for Visual Effects at the Hollywood Film Awards. http://www.hollywoodawards.com/2016/10/the-jungle-book-zootopia-craft-artists-to-be-honored/ Disney probably didn't submit Rogue One here, of course.

CoolioD1 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 hollywood film awards is basically a fake awards show voted for by one guy who picks movies he hasn't even seen yet. just publicity. even golden globe voters would be embarrassed by that guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 While it wont be nominated-I do think Deepwater had some pretty good visuals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Deepwater can get in here. A lot of truly impressive work in there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadAtGender Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Arrival feels like the most likely winner. While it's pretty clear the nominees often get a lot of big blockbuster types, the winner tends to be something that has more academy appeal. They want films that look good, yes, but they also want them to be good, in an important way. So if the nominees are, oh, Strange, Rogue One, Jungle Book, some other blockbuster and Arrival, well, Arrival is the one that hits the right buttons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 I keep on thinking when people say Arrival they are talking about the poor man's ID4 as it was called when it was released. (Never saw it-but heard it was awful) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cause it'll be a Best Picture nominee doesn't mean it'll win this, as last year showed. And I haven't really heard anyone rave about its effects, granted I haven't read many reviews.
