TENET TEAM SCOOPS SIXTH OSCAR AND BAFTA FOR DNEG! We were thrilled to see our TENET crew awarded two of the industry’s highest visual effects honours this month — first winning the ‘Special Visual Effects' BAFTA and then the Academy Award for 'Best Visual Effects' just last weekend. A heartfelt congratulations to our talented VFX team, led by Overall VFX Supervisor Andrew Jackson and VFX Supervisor Andy Lockley.

This achievement, like all our shows, was a global eﬀort - well done to everyone involved!

BTW - we can’t talk about the win without acknowledging that this is Andy Lockley’s third Oscar and third BAFTA win, which has to be some kind of record, right?!
