Honestly, that VFX win was the biggest WTF of the night so far.
The award is strictly for the VFX, regardless of the quality of the movie itself.
1917 was probably the least deserving of those nominees. Personally, I'd have given it to Lion King.
VFX is always such a weird category. Personally I wouldn't have given it to Lion King as they really didn't do anything that innovative or unique, it was simply an animated film.
I love the work that was done on TROS, and I'm still amazed how flawless the massive amount of VFX in Endgame was.
Say what? It was the most innovative of all the nominees. The movie was 100% CGI.
Which makes it...an animated film. The way they did it working with the director was interesting (from speaking with a friend that worked on it) but the work itself really isn't anything we haven't seen before.
So?
So what makes it innovative? Being 100% CGI is something we see from dozens of animated films every year, and we've seen photoreal environments and characters many times before (actually far more than you realize in a whole lot of films).
