Well, while those opinions may be true, any true lover of cinema knows that costuming, make up and special f/x all play an important part in the whole of every movie going experience.
So here are my top 10 for each of theses awards that are just as important as sound and other tech categories.
Best Costume Design
1. Revolutionary Road
2. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
3. The Changeling
4. The Young Victoria
5. Australia
6. The Duchess
7. The Other Boleyn Girl
8. Brideshead Revisited
9. The Dark Knight
10. Defiance
The Costume categories pretty much always seem to go to the same types of films, which means means that pretty much any and every period film is up for a nod. Though i hope they get creative this year and acknowledge The Dark Knight, which could lead the nomination count this year if the academy likes it enough.
Best Makeup
1. The Dark Knight
2. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
3. Synecdoche, New York
4. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
5. Frost/Nixon
6. Hellboy 2
7. The Reader
8. The Road
9. The Argentine/Guerrilla
10. Tropic Thunder
I for one would love to see Tropic thunder get a nod this year for the excellent makeup used to turn Robert Downey Jr. into a black man while elevating black face makeup in general at the same time. However my heart and brain are telling me to go with a combination of the top 5.
Best Visual F/X
1. Iron Man
2. The Dark Knight
3. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
4. Hancock
5. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
6. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
7. The Incredible Hulk
8. Indianna Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull
9. The Day the Earth Stood Still
10. Quantum of Solace
Though I rarely see many of the movies for which F/X was created, I have to say that Iron Man was visually stunning and the Dark Knight had the best pratical effects I have seen in a very long time, with special props to the work that went into creating the look of Two-face
