The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced the 20 films that are contenders in the Visual Effects category for the 89th Academy Awards.
Notables such as The Jungle Book and Rogue One appear in the list, along with what many might consider outsiders such as Arrival, Deepwater Horizon, and Sully. The list also includes animated feature Kubo and the Two Strings, a recognition of the significant visual effects work in the stop-motion film.
Cartoon Brew previously examined in-depth the key contenders in this year’s vfx category.
