Rising Sun Pictures Oscar Nomination: Sinners Visual Effects

On this March 15th in Adelaide, here's what is making headlines.

Staff at Adelaide's Rising Sun Pictures are on the edge of their seats for the Academy Awards.

Their visual effects supervisor, Guido Walter, shares a nomination for best visual effects on the Supernatural Thriller Centers.

Directed by Ryan Kugler, the film leads with 16 Oscar nods, the most in history.

Rising Sun Pictures handled a huge part of the movie's effects, including more than half its runtime.

It set a record for the most visual effects shots in an IMAX film.

The team's biggest challenge was making Michael B. Jordan appear as twins in the same frame.

The studio got its start in 1995, named after a local pub where founders held their first meeting.

Today it employs over 240 people and works with giants like Disney, Marvel, and Warner Brothers.

They've contributed to over 250 projects from Harry Potter to Gravity.

Guido Walter credits the whole team for the success, highlighting their collaboration and dedication to the story.

This nod recognizes years of top work, building on past wins like awards for X-Men and the Academy Award-winning Gravity.

The 98th Academy Awards happened Sunday March 15th, 2026, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

Adelaide viewers can catch the live stream on ABC starting 1030 AM.

Monday, fingers crossed for a big win down under.
