Oscars: The January Bake-Off is the Next Step in the Visual Effects Race
VFX shortlisted movies from 'Dune: Part 2' to 'Better Man' will next participate in the annual bake off.
This year the 10 films vying for a nomination are “Alien: Romulus,” “ Better Man,” “Civil War,” “Deadpool & Wolverine,” “Dune: Part Two,” “Gladiator II,” “ Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,” “ Mufasa: The Lion King,” “Twisters” and “Wicked.” The “Mufasa” team also includes MPC VFX supervisor Audrey Ferrara, who is notable as women are still underrepresented at the highest levels of this field. To date only five women have earned VFX Academy Award nominations and only three (Suzanne M. Benson for “Aliens” in 1987, Sara Bennett for “Ex Machina” in 2016, and Kiyoko Shibuya for “Godzilla Minus One” in 2024) have won.
