'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3' Nominated for Best Visual Effects Oscar

The film faces stiff competition and risks equaling the 'Iron Man' trilogy's record of three nominations without a win.

James Gunn's 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3' has been nominated for the Best Visual Effects Oscar, marking the third nomination for the trilogy in this category.
The previous two films in the trilogy failed to win the award, and this year's competition includes 'Godzilla Minus One', 'The Creator', 'Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning', and 'Napoleon'.
If the film fails to win, it will equal the unfortunate record of the 'Iron Man' trilogy, which also received three nominations in the Visual Effects category but did not win.
The 'Guardians of the Galaxy' trilogy has been praised for its unique blend of comedy and action, and the third film provided an emotional sendoff to beloved characters.
Despite the trilogy's success, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has often been overlooked at major award ceremonies, with most nominations limited to technical categories.
