"A Rocky Rise" by Carl Evans, 2023
Carl Evans shot this full moon photo from Broadhaven, Pembrokeshire. The outcropping in the middle is known as Church Rock. The image consists of two photos stacked to show the moon through the clouds and the birds in flight around Church Rock. "I stood on the beach at Broadhaven for a couple of hours waiting for the Moon to rise. The clouds initially hid the Moon and as I was walking away it appeared among the clouds, adding a nice effect over it," Evans said of the photoshoot.

I'll only take the Oscars seriously when they start nominating animated films in other categories that aren't strictly for animation. Spiderverse deserved a Best Score and Visual Effects nomination. I'd even go as far as to say it should've had a crack at Best Picture. Mutant Mayhem was certainly better than Elemental, if on a purely visual level.
This is biased, but if Elemental wins, it's probably because that's the only animated movie the voters saw. If The Boy and The Heron wins, it's because it's Miyazaki and they'd look good letting him win.
I fully expect either Spiderverse or Heron to win, but if Nimona does, I'd be so happy for the folks at Bluesky and Netflix who kept working on it despite the incredible challenges they faced. I hope Disney are wiping the egg off their face, realizing they shut down the studio that helped produce an Oscar-nominated movie within their last days.

"The Milky Way" by Kush Chandaria
A brilliantly vivid image of our galaxy, the Milky Way, shot by Kush Chandaria from the Okavango Delta, in Botswana. In his submission, Chandaria talks about being able to see the Milky Way with his own eyes for the first time, and the tragedy of increasing light pollution. There are many locations throughout the world untouched by light pollution, called Dark Sky zones. Unfortunately, the lights of growing cities make these areas fewer and fewer. "I can only hope that in capturing this image I can share the same feeling of amazement that I felt when I looked up at the sky that night," Chandaria said.
