'War' won four categories including the top prize for outstanding VFX in a photoreal feature. Is an Oscar next?

War for the Planet of the Apes won the top prize--outstanding visual effects in a photoreal feature--and three additional trophies for effects simulation, compositing and animated character (Caesar), during the 16th annual Visaul Effects Society Awards, Tuesday at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
The next question is, will Weta Digital's accaimed work, which included bringing a cast of CG apes to the screen for an epic finale to Matt Reeves' trilogy, finally deliver a VFX Oscar.
War is nominated for the VFX Oscar alongside Blade Runner 2049, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Kong: Skull Island and Star Wars: The Last Jedi. These are the same films that were nominated in the top VES category. During the VES Awards, Blade Runner 2049 claimed two VES Awards (created environment and model), and Guardians claimed one (virtual cinematography)........
