Visual Effects Society Awards

[Big Magilla]

Happy for Last Night in Soho and Spider-Man: No Way Home, one win being better than none.

All these categories and THE GREEN KNIGHT was completely shut-out?!? Some of the categories only had four nominees. Very strange.

Four wins for Dune and Encanto. I forgot that Jungle Cruise was a movie.
