The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced its shortlists for various categories ahead of the 94th Academy Awards, including Best Visual Effects.
The Visual Effects category is populated with blockbuster films such as Dune, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and No Time to Die. The MCU dominates the list with all four of its feature films from the past year making appearances in the shortlisted line-up, including the first movie of Phase 4, Black Widow, starring Scarlett Johansson in the titular role.
Here are the ten films that remain in the running for the Oscars 2022 Visual Effects category:
Warner Bros. Tenet took home the Oscar for Best Visual Effects at the 93rd Academy Awards, and the studio has a few contenders in the mix again this time, with Dune, Godzilla vs. Kong, and The Matrix Resurrections all making it onto the shortlist to potentially take a spot as a nominee in the Best Visual Effects category at the Oscars 2022.
In addition to No Way Home, Sony Pictures features on the list with Ghostbusters: Afterlife, which earned $44 million at the US box office during its opening weekend. Films from other studios also appear, with 20th Century Studios' Free Guy named as a contender alongside MGM/United Artists Releasing's latest James Bond movie, No Time to Die.
All members of the Visual Effects Branch will be invited to view 10-minute excerpts and interviews with the artists from each of the shortlisted films on January 29, 2022. Branch members will then vote to nominate five films for Oscar consideration, with the final Academy Awards nominees being announced on February 8, 2022. Stay tuned to IGN for more!
