No Disney Star Wars movie has looked better than Rise of Skywalker. Totally disagree there. While the production design, costumes, makeup, etc. were all totally fine and competent to the high bar set for these films, I can't remember a single distinctive thing about a single scene or alien or set from that entire film. The fact that it got any nominations at all rankles me. Everything about that movie suffers from a severe lack of imagination to me. A lot of this is due to the fact that it's so ineptly directed that JJ never allows any scene to ever breathe and actually allow the audience to soak in all the the below-line tech work that is obviously professional and crafted with love, as always. I know a lot of people despise the Canto Bight subplot in The Last Jedi, but the setting itself is visually resplendent and Rian Johnson is competent enough to unveil this world to the viewer via a cool Wings homage push-in that highlights all the invention. Snoke's throne room, the salt planet Crait, the soundless kamikaze lightspeed setpiece... all of these and countless other moments easily best any frame of visual spectacle in JJ's abomination. TRoS is an ADHD-addled headache that introduced nothing of substance, even visually. At least a trainwreck like Phantom Menace includes an objectively well-designed and cool character (Darth Maul, despite being hilariously wasted in the film). I don't even remember what the Knights of Ren look like.

Lighthouse cinematography win is an amazing upset. No one deserved it from that lineup more than Blaschke

@redhawk10 What's the runner up in cinematography and how many votes it got? Portrait got 14 votes (one vote off). that shocks me even more than Lighthouse winning. I was positive 1917 was sweeping this category only for Deaks to lose to Blaschke and Mathon... amazing!

Yeo-jong was great in Parasite, but Shuzen absolutely deserved the Oscar. Her performance in The Farewell was a delightful multi-dimensional part, and she played it perfectly.

Interesting that he's losing another poll against Pacino this very moment.

I know a lot of people despise the Canto Bight subplot in The Last Jedi, but the setting itself is visually resplendent and Rian Johnson is competent enough to unveil this world to the viewer via a cool Wings homage push-in that highlights all the invention. Snoke's throne room, the salt planet Crait, the soundless kamikaze lightspeed setpiece... all of these and countless other moments easily best any frame of visual spectacle in JJ's abomination. TRoS is an ADHD-addled headache that introduced nothing of substance, even visually. At least a trainwreck like Phantom Menace includes an objectively well-designed and cool character (Darth Maul, despite being hilariously wasted in the film). I don't even remember what the Knights of Ren look like. so many comments in there have literally nothing to do with the VFX though. I hated RoS for soooooo many reasons but the VFX isn't one of them. The lack of creativity comes through in the plotting, screenplay, basically the entire foundation of the narrative and it extends to some of the techs (prod. design and costumes, I agree there wasn't much to look at in those areas). But the locations as brought to life by the VFX were outstanding. And for the record, Canto Bight had those awful CGI alien horse things (I liked TLJ a lot but those monstrosities don't age well). TLJ certainly had its glorious highpoints and you mentioned them all. No one's arguing there. But purely from a VFX standpoint Rise of Skywalker was just as peerless (if not moreso) and had gorgeously rendered battles/locations (and it didn't have any unwieldy alien horses or any wonkily-animated creatures that I can think of). Everything involving the ruined Death star scenes was resplendent, from a purely VFX standpoint. and then the crushing bleakness of Exigol. and that's just two locations in a film chock full of them, and that's not to mention any of the chases or fight scene. There wasn't a false note in the entire runtime VFX-wise. The work represents the very best VFX can offer in terms bringing worlds to life in living color/detail without any of the artform's typical pitfalls (shoddily-animated fight scenes and creatures like you see in most MCU films). There is nothing not to like about the VFX in this film. Not for a damn second.
