UniversalWhat It Could Win: Best Original Song To say Furious 7 is an Oscar worthy film really is stretching it (so far if it was a resilient Stretch Armstrong it would still rip in two) the franchise itself could well have been long gone if it wasnt for the inclusion of Dwayne Johnson in the series fifth outing. The film is all style and no substance, but with Paul Walkers passing still fresh in everyones memory a nomination for Best Original Song could well be on the cards. See You Again by Wiz Khalifa & Charlie Puth is a touching (and very popular) tribute to Paul and one the Academy will no doubt take into consideration as one final farewell to the actor. Dark Horse Nominations: Best Visual Effects Outside of Best Original Song, there isnt any category aside from Visual Effects Furious 7 could realistically aim for. As mentioned earlier, the series is all style over substance even if the special effects in the film are and always have been superb, but, when comparing it to the likes of other films featured on this list, they dont stand much of a chance.
