In what should be the easiest victory of the night, Avatar: The Way of Water should swim away with the win for Visual Effects are dominating with BAFTA, Critics’ Choice and a record-setting sweep of nine Visual Effects Society (VES) wins from its also record-setting 14 nominations, where it only lost when competing against itself.
Anything else would be an earth-shaking upset, even more so than Ex Machina beating out Best Picture nominees The Revenant and Mad Max: Fury Road in 2015.
Here are my final 2023 Oscar winner predictions for Visual Effects.
