Will Doctor Strange win the Best Visual Effects Oscar?

Will Doctor Strange win the Best Visual Effects Oscar?
It competes with: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, The Jungle Book, Fantastic Beats and Where to Find Them, Arrival, The BFG, Kubo and the Two Strings and A Monster Calls

I would like it to, but there is a lot of competition. I think either it or Rogue One. Fantastic beasts wasn't that great visually. Not sure about the rest as I haven't seen them.

If it wins, it would be the MCU's first Oscar, right?

>Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, The Jungle Book, Arrival, and A Monster Calls
it doesn't stand a chance

Doctor Strange -> forced visual effects
There was no point to them. They felt unnatural.

Kubo is the one that deserves it..but Laika will get shafted again

It's going to be Jungle Book. I haven't even seen any of the nominees and this is obviously a slam dunk for JB.

Jungle Book will win. I don't understand how it's even a contest.

Yes.

Rogue One will win, can't stop the Star Wars behemoth.

It certainly deserves it, R1s effects were nothing special.
But R1 will win because its fucking Star Wars.

The Force Awakens didn't win ANY oscars. And I don't think the prequels did either, being a Star Wars movie isn't enough to get you a win.

>a movie that has magic and trippy different dimensions as it's fucking main point
>lolforced visual effects

>Kubo and the Two Strings

Has an animated movie ever been nominated for best visual effects before?

no, is to similar to inception to win that

I didn't know Academy Voters browsed this board

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is the closest.

Why do you think that? What's so special about JB?

A large portion of the movie is entirely CGI. The animals of course but also the jungle. And it's all seamlessly animated. It's a technical marvel.

Dr Strange this year, GoTG2 the next.

Star Wars hasn't won an Oscar since Return of the Jedi.
There's no "Star Wars behemoth" as far as the Academy Awards is concerned.

movie was a really big hit
he got the change, it is hard
but being nominated for an oscar is already something BIG 4u for cape movies

kino may be normie realm but it feels great to see a character that you like on a movie

also dr strange had some nice OST
