With the VFX Oscar shortlist coming in the next week, I predict the race will come down to seven contenders: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Interstellar, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, Godzilla, Transformers: Age of Extinction, and Maleficent. Beyond that, look for the big battle between Caesar, Gargantua, and Groot.
