The film seems to be very VFX heavy, with most of it looking genuinely good imo. Not the most amazing and shocking effects, but it was probably the aspect of the film the team invested in the most. Also, the Academy usually has one or two picks a year where they choose a VFX nomination that is more popular and commercial than artistic (Jurassic World Rebirth, Alien Romulus, Free Guy, etc). I'm also not sure if the puppetry is getting consideration in this award, but it should, and also Star Wars films have been nominated multiple times in the past.

Do you believe "Mando & Grogu" have a chance at a Best Visual Effect nomination? (I know the win will not be theirs)

It was one of my anticipated titles of this year's Cannes roster. That headline means it's "over", right?

Every year, we have these films that we all hear of, but ultimately figure they are aiming just for a single category in the awards season, which they are most likely going to be nominated for. Last year, we had Avatar: Fire and Ash, which we all eventually believed would be nominated for VFX only (before the eventual surprise), and we also had films like The Smashing Machine or Jurassic World: Rebirth, which snuck in for below-the-line categories.

So, at this time of the year, which film do you think will eventually be among this year's nominees, but only for a single category - and which category would that be?

For obvious reasons, please exclude animated / international films you believe will only be nominated for these respective categories, as is the case with most of these nominations.

I tried to compile a few options I saw based on my perspective and the Awards Expert app, but let me know what your opinions are in the comments!
