Best Visual Effects
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Guardians of the Galaxy
Interstellar
X-Men: Days of Future Past

This is a tough category.  All of the films have great visual effects, none of them have "Life of Pi"- style effects (you know, the ones that are obviously special effects), and all of them (except X-Men) are very good films on their own. Unfortunately, I missed Interstellar in the theater, so I don't really feel qualified to comment on its effects since my computer screen leaves a little to be desired. Still, this is the safest pick for the Academy because they usually shy away from sequels and superheroes in this category.

My Ballot:
Guardians of the Galaxy
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Interstellar
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
X-Men: Days of Future Past

My Pick to Win:
Interstellar

Shamefully Snubbed:
The Signal
