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
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.
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
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
^The nomination for Ralph Hammeras was not associated with any individual film.\n
\n
^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
^From 1939 until 1962, visual effects and sound effects artists competed in a combined Best Special Effects category.\n
\n
^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

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.",
