'Oppenheimer' Snubbed from Oscars' Best Visual Effects Shortlist

Outrage Among Fans as Critically Acclaimed Film Misses Out on Key Category

Christopher Nolan's historical drama 'Oppenheimer' has been snubbed from the Best Visual Effects category for the upcoming 96th Academy Awards, causing outrage among fans on social media.
The omission of 'Oppenheimer' from the shortlist of 20 films has been met with surprise, given the film's critical acclaim and its use of practical effects.
Many fans argue that the films that made the cut, including 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania', rely too heavily on digital effects and do not match the visual quality of 'Oppenheimer'.
The final nominees for the Best Visual Effects award will be announced on January 23, 2024, with the ceremony taking place on March 10, 2024.
Despite the snub, 'Oppenheimer' is still expected to be a strong contender in other categories at the Academy Awards.
