This is where Dune should be able to clean up quite easily, especially in visual effects. As the only Best Picture nominee and with the most awarded and respected vfx of the season, it’s path should be clear as we don’t have an Ex Machina to get in the way.
Makeup and Hairstyling should still be Dune’s to lose but this might be a bit harder. Again, it’s the only Best Picture nominee of the bunch, which used to be an easy way to lock this in (same for vfx until Ex Machina), but keep an eye out for The Eyes of Tammy Faye here. Being attached to a Best Actress nominee certainly helped last year when Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom won Or even Cruella, with its costume design nomination, which Ma Rainey also won, incidentally.
Precursor Watch: the Makeup and Hairstyling guild awards are February 19, the Visual Effects Society’s awards are March 8 and both BAFTA and Critics’ Choice are March 13. Oscar winner voting is March 17-22.
