The Academy released its shortlist on Monday revealing the films that are still in the running for the VFX Oscar, including the just-released "Last Jedi." There are plenty of jaw-dropping action sequences in the flick that make it the perfect special effects Oscar bait, though we're especially partial to those insanely cute computer-animated porgs (they may have divided fans, but just like Chewy in "Last Jedi," we've totally been won over by the little guys).
While "Star Wars" films have traditionally fared rather well in the Academy's technical categories, the jury's still out on whether "Last Jedi" can score any above-the-line nods -- particularly for Mark Hamill's poignant performance as Luke Skywalker, which J.J. Abrams says is definitely Oscar-worthy. Fans will find out when the Oscar nominations are revealed on January 23.
The ten films still in contention for a VFX nod are:
"Alien: Covenant"
"Blade Runner 2049"
"Dunkirk"
"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2"
"Kong: Skull Island"
"Okja"
"The Shape of Water"
"Star Wars: The Last Jedi"
"Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets"
"War for the Planet of the Apes"
The Oscars will air live on ABC on March 4, 2018.
