Los Angeles [US], March 16 : At the 98th Academy Awards, 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects. This marked Richard Baneham's third nomination and win in this category.

'Avatar: Fire and Ash' is the third instalment in James Cameron's acclaimed science fiction-fantasy franchise.

Many awards were presented that evening, and Sinners took home several honours. A while ago, Ludwig Goransson won the Oscar for Best Original Score for Sinners.

Ryan Coogler's film 'Sinners' bagged the Best Original Screenplay award as well. He defeated Ronald Bronstein and Josh Safdie for Marty Supreme; Eskil Vogt and Joachim Trier for Sentimental Value, and Robert Kaplow for Blue Moon to clinch the prestigious award.
