Denis Villeneuve's striking reboot Blade Runner 2049 is a worthy pick for Visual Effects Oscar. And that triumphant look on John Nelson, Gerd Nefzer, Paul Lambert and Richard R. Hoover as they receive their respect statuettes from Tom Holland only confirms it.

Next, Matthew Mcconaughey hands over Best Editing Oscar to Lee Smith for Dunkirk. Smith was previously nominated for The Dark Knight and Master and Commander.

In his acceptance speech, Smith thanks Dunkirk, now on its third win, director Christopher Nolan. "He's an editor himself. He doesn't handle the actual equipment, I am very thankful for that."
