The visual effects category has seen some surprises in the past both pleasant and baffling, though this year's race seems like a clear-cut duel between 1917 and Avengers: Endgame.

Ultimately however, Endgame's sheer sensory assault, especially in act three, may come off as too much of a muchness - or too much of a repetition, even - whereas 1917's VFX are more subtle and still do a fantastic job of enhancing the overall experience.

The MCU's status as a persistent bridesmaid in this category will most likely continue.
