Best Visual Effects:
Deepwater Horizon
Doctor Strange
The Jungle Book
Kubo & the Two Strings
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
No best picture nominees in the bunch, so this would seem to be a tough prediction. Still, I don't think any of the others can compete with the groundbreaking effects in The Jungle Book. Deepwater Horizon was a welcome surprise, but its effects are nothing more than traditional explosions. Each of the other nominees simply improve on techniques previously demonstrated (Dr. Strange - Inception, Kubo - other Laika films, and Rogue One - Star Wars films... duh). Also interesting that Disney took 3/5 nominees in this category. If they acquire Laika, I'm going to submit an antitrust lawsuit.
My Ballot:
Kubo & the Two Strings
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
The Jungle Book
Deepwater Horizon
My Pick to Win:
The Jungle Book
Shamefully Snubbed:
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
