Jurassic World Rebirth, the 7th installment in the Jurassic Park franchise, is officially an Academy Award nominated film. Today the Academy announced that Rebirth was nominated for the Visual Effects Oscar.
This is the first Academy Award that the franchise has been nominated for since 1997’s The Lost World: Jurassic Park was also nominated for Visual Effects – however, it ultimately lost to Titanic that year. 1993’s Jurassic Park was nominated for three Oscars – Visual Effects, Sound, and Sound Mixing, winning all three categories. For those keeping track at home that is 5 total Oscar nominations for the franchise, with 3 wins and 1 pending. While Rebirth is probably not going to win the award, being nominated is a huge honor in itself and puts the film among some of the elite films of all-time.
Congratulations to Gareth Edwards, David Vickery, Stephen Aplin, Charmaine Chan, and Neil Corbould on this distinguished honor, and good luck! The 98th Academy Awards will be held on March 15, 2026 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood and will be televised on ABC.
