On the bright side...no film has won Best Picture and Best VFX since LOTR: The Return of the King. The Shape of Water and EEAAO were also not nominated.

I am even more surprised with EEAAO tbh (didn't follow awards season last year).
That movie has tons out out-there CGI, and I loved it.

Well, I have a feeling it will be completely snubbed at Oscar night.

I'll take it.

Yeah, surprised it was a runner up, since Oppenheimer wasn't in the running in any of the other categories. I thought it be Poor Things or All of us Together, it's more of the LA critics type of film.
