Re: Visual Effects

There's Visual Effects
And theres Special Effects

Special Effects are practical effects done during production. Visual effects are cgi and other post production work.

Not at the Oscars. The Visual Effects award encompasses both special effects and visual effects.

Avengers had 4 nominees. 2 were Special Effects Leads, 2 were Visual Effects.

A film could win the Visual Effects Oscar with only Special Effects. Although that is unlikely in today's CGI world.

Seems like they really need separate categories then? It's totally different people handling the special effects and VFX.
