A Record Nobody At Marvel Studios Wanted Continues

WhenIron Manwas nominated for an Oscar in 2009 , few people could have suspected that 15 year subsequently , the sprawling shared universe it kicked off would have failed to win a single VIsual Effects Oscar . In all honesty , theMCU ’s VFX has n’t always been the high monetary standard , with questions over uneven CG characters and action succession , but for the most part , what the MCU has done for achievement in visual effect can not be downplayed . Highlights include entire characters yield in full CG from Josh Brolin ’s Thanos to Paul Bettany ’s Vision , once - unfeasible natural process sequences likeAvengers : Endgame ’s famous scene , and single extra effects like Doctor Strange ’s magical powers .
Justice was partially serve up when 14 of the MCU ’s movies were nominated for Best Visual Effects , but in every case , another movie ’s VFX team walked out with the gold . Even when multiple MCU picture show were nominated in the same year , the success never came :

Considering the amount of money pumped into the MCU since its inception and the important function particular effects plays in the thaumaturgy of Marvel ’s movie - making journeying , for there to not be a single Oscar win feels impossible . That , of course , is not to take anything out from the achievement of the success - or any of the candidate that also miss out - but in a virgin number game , the odds feel improbable . Perhaps the bar fix by reality produce entirely from scratch , where gods , foreigner , and monster take the air helping hand - in - bridge player so casually is just too eminent . To rephrase a Disney supervillain from another mankind , when everyone is especial , nobody is .

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3 Was Nominated For The Wrong Oscar Anyway
What, No Love For Counter-Earth?!
In the cardinal Counter - Earth - set sequence , Vol . 3 broke the track record for the most makeup appliance used in a single motion-picture show with more than 23,000 prosthetics used on more than 1,000 actor .
Despite the Visual Effects loss toGodzilla Minus One , James Gunn’sGuardians Of The Galaxy Vol . 3team can perhaps retrieve themselves more aggrieved that there was no nominating speech - and apparently no win - for Best Makeup and Hairstyling . In the keyCounter - Earth - set sequence , Vol . 3 infract the criminal record for the most constitution appliances used in a single cinema with more than 23,000 prosthetics used on more than 1,000 actors . While other candidate this class had item-by-item achievements with more elusive brilliance , perhaps , that level of software is only unbelievable .
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 offend the phonograph record hold byThe Grinch .
Even beyond the Counter - Earth occupier , who were all rendered improbably well , the prosthetics and make - up used on the likes of Drax ( Dave Bautista ) , The High Evolutionary ( Chukwudi Iwuji ) , Nebula ( Karen Gillan ) , and Adam Warlock ( Will Poulter ) , and others were surely desirable of nomination . Again , the fact that so much was achieved over the entireGuardiansfranchise could perverely have worked against the movie ’s claim .
