- We see you… And just like 13 years ago, Avatar: The Way of Water is the winner! Congratulations to Wētā FX and all the VFX creatives that brought a mesmerizing story to our screens.
- And the winner is... Dune! Congratulations to DNEG and all the VFX creatives involved in the retelling of this beloved sci-fi epic! Led by Production VFX Supervisor Paul Lambert, alongside VFX Supervisors Tristan Myles and Brian Connor, the VFX elements in Dune were meticulously designed to immerse audiences into the dystopian world based on Frank Herbert’s novel.
- Tenet. This sci-fi, action-adventure sees another Oscar win for Christopher Nolan and the fantastic DNEG VFX team. With six wins in the past ten years, the creatives at DNEG played an integral part in executing the film's complex time-traveling narrative.
- 1917. Creating the illusion that 1917 had been captured in one continuous shot proved no easy feat, but VFX supervisor Guillaume Rocheron and his team at Moving Picture Company rose to the challenge, digitally stitching together scores of invisible moments and creating entire digital environments from scratch to win over worthy contenders such as The Lion King and The Irishman.
