While it's easy to hate Black folk, bear in mind that the israelites in Hollywood choose the ugliest Black folk on purpose*.
It's about normalization and the degradation of genetics.
Idris Elba is the only good-looking Black person around atm; and that's only because there are a few Black person-roles which they know* can't be disgustingly ugly. Love to Idris tho; can't hate the player, but the game.
The nominations are up to the discretion of the voters if I remember properly. It's why best foreign language is sometimes arbitrarily allowed to compete for best picture too.
So theoretically, I think they could nominate Killers of the Flower Moon for best animated picture if enough voters agreed

Does a deliberate snubbing like this end up all the way back around to being based?
because holy shit this is some next level intentional giving nolan the middle finger. putting up a glowing neon sign saying "frick you nolan" would've been more subtle than nominating these over oppenhiemer.
>nolan grovels like a fricking cuck and makes a movie glorifying commie israelites as the ubermensch gods among mankind >still gets snubbed in favor of trash tier movies
like I give a shit about him, they've been throwing the awards like candies and none of those movies improve or innovate the visual effect medium. They're all fricking garbage that I'm not gonna remember 10 years after
Besides the obvious pics…look, I loved Godzilla. But the fx were commercial tier at best, just with good art direction boosting it up. It was not a case like District 9 where the visuals somehow magically transcended their budget.
Don't know why people are surprised by this. The movie only had one effect shot and it was just a big gasoline explosion they tried to pass off as a nuclear bomb.
The winner will be The Creator easily. Aquaman, Napoleon, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, will be nominated.
Oppenheimer's main visual effect is a Mythbusters stunt. The only other thing it has going for it are macro photography tricks which have already been done better in more impressive films.
As another anon said, after Blxck Panther this is the category meant for Marvel to apply a nicer veneer to their slop. >OSCAR NOMINATED FILM ANTMAN AND THE WASP QUANTUMANIA
Makes sense. I guess the mark of quality for VFX is now simply throwing so much shit on the screen that the audience loses any ability to assess quality. Michal Bay deserves several apologies
Hate on Bay all you want, but if you look back at the first couple Transformer movies they blow capeshit out of the water effect wise. I was watching Revenge of the Fallen on my shitty TV last night and it's pretty incredible how well it holds up.
He made schlock, but at least it was enjoyable schlock. It was about spectacle and mindless fun. Now it's that, but all the fun sucked out by shitty casting and endless preaching and homosexualry. At least the worst I could say about Bay was that his movies were corny.
right decision, the movie didn't had a single scene that looked impressive. People said the explosion was supposed to be a highlight but even the old footage of it looks a lot more impressive than whatever Nolan tried there.
No it doesn't. Look at the bushes in the foreground here and notice that there's another bush of the same size on the OTHER SIDE of the nuclear explosion. It's fricking embarrassing and I cringed for Nolan.
the anti bomb explosion gays had a field day that first week before people saw it and they were thoroughly put in their place in every single thread. They’re just trying to relive those very very brief glory days.
>this is the bomb, your big money shot after all the tiring garbage of the rest of the movie about a guy known for only one thing >this is your nuke bro
What a frick you. Couldn't even be bothered to really hype it up and make it look good after all that time invested into a movie with nothing else in it. And this is the payoff. Stock effects you use for a basic explosion entirely unlike that of a nuclear bomb at all.
>Nolan is such a hack he can't even get a visual effects nom from nu-woke-Oscars
I thought this would be the year when the oscars would stoop to awarding Nolan since they give noms and awards to any movie now
I watched it in 4k hdr from an 80gb torrent and honestly the visuals were pretty great. Only thing that left me kind of underwhelmed was the nuke explosion but the visualizations and more trippy stuff on screen looked amazing. As did the cinematography in general.
The movie exists only as nuke propaganda. They did an underwelming practical explosion to make sure the sheep keep believing in the old Lookout Mountain “test footage”.

Easy win for Zack Snyder
>• Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania
Why?
>• Rebel Moon: Part 1
It's out?
Two of those slapdash Disney Marvel pictures? I thought we all agreed their visuals were bad.
This is hilarious.
>best visuals
That's the most realistic digimon I have ever seen, bravo snyder

There was another willy Wonka movie made wtf?
How soi was it?
>godzilla in there and Oppenisraeliter muscled out
Gojirabros we can't stop winning.
They just did this to spite Nolan. No other explanation for putting shit like Ant Man and Indiana Jones over him.
Oppenheimer's visual effects are shit. The one good effect in the film is the atom spinny trick, you don't deserve an oscar for that.
Idk looks pretty dope
How about Oppenheimer being shit? Is that not enough of a reason?
It's way better than most of those, especially effect wise.
Joke post?
>Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>Godzilla
>The Creator
>Killers of the Flower Moon
>Napoleon
>Rebel Moon
As long as one of these wins, it's a good result.
>best visual effects
>spiderverse
Wouldn't an animated movie technically mean it's not an effect at all? Am I just moronic?
The nominations are up to the discretion of the voters if I remember properly. It's why best foreign language is sometimes arbitrarily allowed to compete for best picture too.

They fricked up the explosion badly, it's fair they aren't even considered, they should just be ashamed.
Did it get the Best Picture nom? If so, who the frick cares about this? Do you think it's a worse movie than Transformers: Rise of the Beats?
seems like theyve established themselves a category huh ? well done marvel
It looked like shit, so that's fine.
Why should it? There were only a handful of visual effects shots
2001: Space Odyssey won visual effects back in 69
Those effects were good, and the film was full of them.
give me a "good" visual effect the top 20 list
Oppenheimer's main visual effect is a Mythbusters stunt. The only other thing it has going for it are macro photography tricks which have already been done better in more impressive films.
?t=86
?t=27
?t=162
I concede
>Long as countdown and build up
>Explosion is pathetic
Good, frick 'em.
I didn't even like Oppenheimer (it was boring and an hour too long) but it's kind of odd it wasn't at least in the top 10 for consideration
As another anon said, after Blxck Panther this is the category meant for Marvel to apply a nicer veneer to their slop.

As I said, he deserves several apologies. The shit he was mocked for in the 2000s is now the standard of quality two decades later.
He made schlock, but at least it was enjoyable schlock. It was about spectacle and mindless fun. Now it's that, but all the fun sucked out by shitty casting and endless preaching and homosexualry. At least the worst I could say about Bay was that his movies were corny.
>the marvels
right decision, the movie didn't had a single scene that looked impressive. People said the explosion was supposed to be a highlight but even the old footage of it looks a lot more impressive than whatever Nolan tried there.
It looks the same as the real test footage.
No it doesn't. Look at the bushes in the foreground here and notice that there's another bush of the same size on the OTHER SIDE of the nuclear explosion. It's fricking embarrassing and I cringed for Nolan.
Cinemaphile morons
No argument. Not even a top 10 movie nuke.
Shut up you idiot, go blow up another gasoline drum thinking it's a good approximation of a nuclear blast
the anti bomb explosion gays had a field day that first week before people saw it and they were thoroughly put in their place in every single thread. They’re just trying to relive those very very brief glory days.

Jesse, what the hell are you talking about?
Not even close. Nolan's insistence on practical effects is usually a good thing but he fricked up on this one
why the frick didn't he think to just use that footage and upscale it?
He's fricking moronic, the movie explosion looked like total ass
>why didn't he use archival black and white footage from 1945
>for an IMAX film shot on 65mm
Anon, you know the CSI 'enhance' thing is a just a meme, right?

>starting a thread about what the Academy cares about
the academy has zero credibility and yet it manages to lose a little more every year
The movie exists only as nuke propaganda. They did an underwelming practical explosion to make sure the sheep keep believing in the old Lookout Mountain “test footage”.
Godzillabros, we're one step closer.
Oscars minus Nolan.
>Israel
>$3,153,579
Why did this movie do so poorly there? It's about israeli scientists.
