Congrats to First Man director Damien Chazelle and his special effects team for winning the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects tonight! The Neil Armstrong biopic took home the Oscar after vying against fellow nominees Christopher Robin, Ron Howard's Solo: A Star Wars Story, Avengers: Infinity War and Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One in this category. Even though First Man lost in Sound Design, Sound Mixing (both to the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody) and Production Design (to the Marvel comic book flick Black Panther)—the three other categories that it was nominated in—First Man winning for Visual FX is still a great way for Hollywood to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission...which takes place this July. Carry on.
