Supercut: Every Oscar-Winning Movie For Visual Effects in History

Watching Burger Fiction's supercut of every Oscar winner for visual effects, one thing jumps out at me: it's been almost ten years, and I still can't believe that The Golden Compass managed to beat Transformers for Best VFX in 2007.

It's cool to see all of these play out in order as a way to see how rapidly technology has changed over the past few decades, and it's cool seeing the obvious big advances like Star Wars, Jurassic Park, The Matrix, and The Lord of the Rings pop up to show everyone else how it's done.

We had so much fun putting together every best picture ever, we thought we'd highlight every best visual effects winner next. For the 1927/28 Academy awards, the award was for engineering effects. There was no award again until 1938 where it was called a special award "for outstanding achievement in creating special photographic and sound effects.
