The Academy Award for Best Visual Effects is an Academy Award given for the best achievement in visual effects.\n

\n\n

History of the award[edit]

\n

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences first recognized the technical contributions of special effects to movies at its inaugural dinner in 1929, presenting a plaque for \"Best Engineering Effects\" to the first Best Picture Oscar winner, the World War I flying drama Wings.\n

Producer David O. Selznick, then production head at RKO Studios, petitioned the Academy Board of Governors to recognize the work of animator Willis O'Brien for his groundbreaking work on 1933's King Kong.\n

It was not until 1938 when a film was actually recognized for its effects work, when a \"Special Achievement Award for Special Effects\" was given to the Paramount film Spawn of the North. The following year, \"Best Special Effects\" became a recognized category, although on occasion the Academy has chosen to honor a single film outright rather than nominate two or more films. From 1939 to 1963, it was an award for a film's visual effects as well as audio effects, so it was often given to two persons, although some years only one or the other type of effect was recognized. In 1964, it was given only for visual effects, and the following year the name of the category was changed to \"Best Special Visual Effects\".\n

Honorees for this award have been bestowed several times as a Special Achievement Academy Award. In 1977, the category was given its current name \"Best Visual Effects.\" For decades, shortlisted finalists were selected by a steering committee. They are presently chosen by the visual effects branch executive committee.[1] 1990 was the last year there were no official nominees. Back to the Future Part III, Dick Tracy, Ghost and Total Recall advanced to a second stage of voting, but only Total Recall received a requisite average and it was given a special achievement Oscar.[2]\n

To date, there have been three wholly animated films nominated in this category: The Nightmare Before Christmas in 1993, Kubo and the Two Strings in 2016, and The Lion King in 2019. There have been three semi-animated films nominated, which also won: Mary Poppins in 1964, Bedknobs and Broomsticks in 1971, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit in 1988.[3] In 2024, Godzilla Minus One became the first non-English-language film ever to win in the category.[4]\n

\n

Rules[edit]

\n

In 1979, there were five films nominated. For most of the next three decades, there were three nominees a year, although at some times there were two and at others, a single film was given the award outright.\n

In 2007, it was decided that a list of no more than 15 eligible films would be chosen, from which a maximum of seven would be shortlisted for further consideration. A vote would then proceed, with a maximum of three nominees. Since 2010, there are ten shortlisted finalists which, using a form of range voting, produce five nominees.[5][6] No more than four people may be nominated for a single film.[7]\n

According to the official Academy Award rules, the criteria are:\n

\n

(a) consideration of the contribution the visual effects make to the overall production and
\n(b) the artistry, skill and fidelity with which the visual illusions are achieved.

\n

Filmmakers[edit]

\n

A number of filmmakers have had their movies honored for their achievements in visual effects; i.e., six by director James Cameron (who began his career in Hollywood as an effects technician), five films produced by George Pal, five by director/producer George Lucas, four by directors Richard Fleischer, Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson, three by directors Robert Zemeckis and Christopher Nolan, and two by directors Clarence Brown, Cecil B. DeMille, Mark Robson, Ridley Scott, Robert Stevenson and Denis Villeneuve.\n

Only two directors have won in the same category: British filmmaker Stanley Kubrick's only Oscar win for 1968's 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Japanese filmmaker Takashi Yamazaki's first Oscar win for 2023's Godzilla Minus One.[4][8] The credits for 2001 list four effects contributors, including Douglas Trumbull. However, according to the rules of the Academy in effect at the time, only three persons could be nominated for their work on a single film, which would have resulted in the omission of either Trumbull, Tom Howard, Con Pederson or Wally Veevers. Ultimately, it was Kubrick's name that was submitted as a nominee in this category, resulting in his winning the award, which many consider a slight to the four men whose work contributed to the film's success.[9]\n

Shortlisted finalists[edit]

\n

Finalists for Best Visual Effects are selected by the Visual Effects Branch Executive Committee. Beginning with a long list of up to 20 titles, the committee then advances ten films to the shortlist.[13] Prior to the 83rd Academy Awards, only fifteen films were long-listed, and only seven films were shortlisted.[14] The full membership of the Visual Effects Branch is invited to view excerpts and is provided with supporting information at a \"bake-off\" where balloting determines the five nominees. These are the additional films that presented at the bake-off.\n

Notes[edit]

\n
\n
    \n
  1. ^ The nomination for Ralph Hammeras was not associated with any individual film.\n
  2. \n
  3. ^ According to the Academy's in-house records, the nomination for Nugent Slaughter was most often connected with The Jazz Singer. It is not considered an official nomination for that film.\n
  4. \n
  5. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m This was presented as a Special Achievement Award, not as a competitive Academy Award of Merit.\n
  6. \n
  7. ^ From 1939 until 1962, visual effects and sound effects artists competed in a combined Best Special Effects category.\n
  8. \n
  9. ^ When nominations were announced on February 9, 1942, Dive Bomber was nominated in place of The Sea Wolf. Both were Warner Bros. productions with photographic effects by Byron Haskin and sound effects by Nathan Levinson. By February 19, the Dive Bomber nomination was replaced with The Sea Wolf. The reason for the substitution is unknown.\n
  10. \n
  11. ^ In 1957, The Enemy Below won the Best Special Effects Oscar for audible effects by Walter Rossi. It was not cited for its visual effects.\n
  12. \n
  13. ^ A tie resulted in eight finalists.\n
  14. \n

10 Films Make the 2014 Oscars Best Visual Effects Shortlist

The Academy has announced the ten films that made their final shortlist for the Best Visual Effects category at the 2014 Oscars and I can\u2019t say this category ever really surprises me with what\u2019s in versus what\u2019s out, but to see films such as Man of Steel, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and Oz the Great and Powerful not make the cut does make you wonder just what exactly does it mean to have the \u201cbest\u201d visual effects.

\n

Here\u2019s the ten that will compete for the five nominees, which will be determined after all members of the Visual Effects Branch will be invited to view 10-minute excerpts from each of the shortlisted films on Thursday, January 9, 2014. Following the screenings, the members will vote to nominate five films for final Oscar consideration.

I have updated my predictions for the category following the announcement and my top five didn\u2019t really change other than to have films move up one slot as The Great Gatsby was previously in my top five but is no not eligible:

However, there is also a slew of winners that demonstrate the ways visual effects can be used for greater means than just blowing up cities. In examining the highs and lows of modern Oscar winners for Best Visual Effects, it becomes easy to appreciate the finer nuances of what it means to use these tools properly and the craftsmanship that goes into the best visual effects work. It\u2019s easy to forget, but The Golden Compass scored a Best Visual Effects win at the Academy Awards, ensuring that this forgotten 2007 dud somehow has more Oscars than all the combined movies of Lynne Ramsay. It\u2019s not the low quality of the overall Golden Compass film that makes this a baffling victory, the film\u2019s visual effects just aren\u2019t all that impressive. The CG polar bears don\u2019t have much weight to them, for example, and barely look better than what you\u2019d find in a Coca-Cola ad. ... Digitally de-aging actors is a tough nut to crack but that didn't stop this Oscar-winner from trying. In the middle of so many firsts responding to an unprecedented health crisis, a reliable element emerged in another Christopher Nolan movie, Tenet, scoring a Best Visual Effects Oscar win. The movie\u2019s not a game-changer in terms of VFX, but it does have its nifty moments, particularly in the small details like the wizardry used to render water and debris floating backward. All three Lord of the Rings movies won the Best Visual Effects Oscar at their respective Academy Award ceremonies and for good reason, they still hold up as extraordinary when it comes to VFX. The Two Towers may be the weakest of the bunch just because of some less fluid merging between green-screen work and live-action components, but it\u2019s still largely a wonder to behold in the VFX department. Just the work done to realize Gollum alone\u2026 ... Spider-Man 2 is still the only Marvel Comics movie adaptation to win a Best Visual Effects Oscar and there\u2019s a reason for that.", + "page_result": "", + "page_last_modified": "" + }, + { + "page_name": "Best Visual Effects | Oscars Wiki | Fandom", + "page_url": "https://oscars.fandom.com/wiki/Best_Visual_Effects", + "page_snippet": "The Academy Award for Best Visual Effects is an Academy Award that recognizes the finest or most outstanding visual effects in film.

The Academy Award for Best Visual Effects is an Academy Award that recognizes the finest or most outstanding visual effects in film.\n

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences first recognized the technical contributions of special effects to movies at its inaugural dinner in 1928, presenting a plaque for Best Engineering Effects to the first Best Picture Oscar winner, the World War I flying drama Wings.\n

Producer David O. Selznick, then production head at RKO Studios, petitioned the Academy Board of Governors to recognize the work of animator Willis O'Brien for his groundbreaking work on 1933's King Kong (1933).\n

But it was not until 1938 when a film was actually recognized for its effects work, when a \"Special Achievement Award for Special Effects\" was given to the Paramount film Spawn of the North. The following year, Best Special Effects became a recognized category, although on occasion the Academy has chosen to honor a single film outright rather than nominate two or more films. From 1939 to 1963, it was an award for a film's visual effects as well as audio effects, so usually it was given to two persons, although some years only one or the other type of effect was recognised. In 1964, it was given only for visual effects, and the following year the name of the category was changed to Best Special Visual Effects.\n

Between 1972 and 1977, there was no specific award for visual effects. As such work was awarded within the umbrella award called Special Achievement Academy Award. In 1977, a specific award category for visual effects was reintroduced with the current name, Best Visual Effects, although until 1995, visual effects could for some years continue to be given within the Special Achievement Academy Award instead. Which 1990 was the last year there was no official nominations, but instead a special achievement given.\n
