Every year I post up something crowing about the Best Visual Effects Oscar that this film took home in 1980, (it was also nominated for Best Set Decoration--which it should have won for (!), All That Jazz took home the gold guy instead.) but every year I am still blown away nearly 40 years on by the visuals in this film! It is obvious to mention the late artist H.R. Giger when bringing up the award, but actual set designers Carlo Rambaldi, Brian Johnson, Nick Allder and Dennis Ayling, who shared the award with Giger, are the unsung heroes of the film.
