Visual Effects Society Awards Winners Give ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ And ‘Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse’ Top Prizes

By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 6, 2019 9:30 am EST

It’s been a great year for Marvel on the awards circuit. Not only is Black Panther a bonafide Academy Awards nominee for Best Picture, but Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse has been cleaning up on the animated front and Avengers: Infinity War has been getting some love on the technical side of things. Now two of the Marvel projects are being honored for their achievements in visual effects.

The 17th annual Visual Effects Society Awards were handed out this week, and Avengers: Infinity War and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse walked away with four awards each. But they weren’t the only blockbuster winners of the night. Get the full rundown of the 2019 Visual Effects Society Awards winners below. Avengers: Infinity War took home the big prize for Outstanding Visual Effects in a Photoreal Feature, as well as Outstanding Animated Character in a Photoreal Feature for their creation of the computer generated villain Thanos. On top of that, Thanos’ homeworld of Titan landed Marvel two awards for effects simulating and compositing. Meanwhile, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse took the big award for Outstanding Visual Effects in an Animated Feature. But the Sony Pictures Animation production also landed the awards for Outstanding Animated Character in an Animated Feature, Outstanding Created Environment in an Animated Feature and Outstanding Effects Simulations in an Animated Feature.

It wasn’t all Marvel at the Visual Effects Society Awards though. Ready Player One earned a couple awards too. The film got one for Outstanding Created Environment in a Photoreal Feature thanks to the incredible sequence that recreated The Shining’s Overlook Hotel, as well as Outstanding Virtual Cinematography in a Photoreal Project for the New York racing sequence.
