Special effects supervisor Neil Corbould has rubbed shoulders with the Hollywood elite during his almost 50-year long career in the film industry.

He has now impressively been nominated for three Oscars at the 2024 Academy Awards for Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, Napoleon and The Creator.

Neil is up against himself in the Visual Effects category, taking over three out of the five nominations, while he is also competing against Godzilla Minus One and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

Ahead of the esteemed awards ceremony, Neil spoke exclusively to MailOnline about how it really feels to be up for an Academy Award and gave an insight into the glitzy Hollywood affair.

Reacting to his three nominations, Neil gushed: 'I'm a bit shell-shocked, I've won a couple before, but never been nominated three times in the same category in one year.'

'I feel very honoured to be nominated three times, I'm quite speechless, it's still all sinking in. I just want to thank the Academy and the members for voting, it's amazing,' he added.

Neil said he will be taking his wife Maria along to the Oscars, shared his excitement about rubbing shoulders with all the A-list stars on the epic night.

'Me and my wife Maria are really looking forward to it, probably won't win, because I've got three - sods law! But we're going to go out there and enjoy ourselves and absorb the atmosphere,' he said.

'It's amazing, you're there with all your peers and the who's who of Hollywood! Every time I've been it's always been a very surreal moment because you walk the red carpet and there are all these people who you know - because they are stars or celebrities Мультики з українською озвучкою - https://gidonline-ua.com/ but you don't know them! I've been lucky enough to win two, because when you win one, everyone wants to talk to you, which is great!'

Neil also gave an insight into what the Academy Awards are really like behind the scenes and shared his own plans for the big night.

He said of the ceremony: 'It seems like a long time on the TV, but it's pretty slick the way they do it. They get you in there, they get you seated. My secret is to have a few glasses of champagne to calm the nerves down a little bit!' 

'[I'm looking forward to] soaking up the atmosphere and spending time with all the other nominees really,' he went on. 




Neil described working on the Mission: Impossible franchise, starring Tom Cruise (pictured), as the 'biggest' project he worked on as he revealed how they nailed those terrifying stunts 





Neil also worked with Vanessa Kirby andJoaquin Phoenix on wartime film Napoleon and is hoping to take home an Oscar for one of his three nominated epics

'There's a big luncheon that goes on in LA probably about three weeks before, which is very informal and relaxed. So I'm looking forward to that and just doing a bit of jet-setting. 

'I've got to fly out for the luncheon, then I fly back for an awards, then I fly back out for the Visual Effects Society awards, as I've also got three nominations in that for different films in different categories, and then back for the BAFTAs, so it's here, there and everywhere. Then back out for the Oscar night!'

Neil also revealed how films are selected for the prestigious Academy Award nominations, revealing he had to pitch his movies to a panel after the visual effects category was narrowed down from around 350 films.

He explained: 'The Academy vote it down to a long list, I think it started off with 350 odd films. The visual effects branch then vote it down to 20 and then to 10.

'Then they have a thing in LA called the bake off, which happened just over a week ago, where you get the 10 films and each film goes up on to the stage and explains what we did on each movie, and you sort of sell yourself. 

'Then the visual effects community vote on the five films. I flew out to LA last week and I was playing musical chairs, jumping up and down because I was up three times, which was quite funny.

'We were all seated in our own little movies, and because I was in three, there was a chair for me in each one, so basically I had to jump between the three!'

Neil memorably picked up an Oscar for his ground-breaking visual effects work on 2013 sci-fi movie Gravity, which starred George Clooney and Sandra Bullock, and is hoping to take home another gong at the 2024 Academy Awards.

He shared hopes that one of his nominated movies wins an Oscar as he gushed over all three of the blockbusters (Neil is pictured working on set) 

He shared his hopes that one of his nominated movies wins an Oscar as he gushed over all three of the blockbusters, but admitted it is always nerve-racking going on stage to accept an award.

He said of taking to the stage in front of an audience full of Hollywood stars: 'I have to say, my brain goes a bit numb. There is so much talent in the audience that I gloss over a little bit.

'Then all of a sudden, I find myself walking off the stage, thinking "what just happened?"'

'I've been on the other end when I haven't won as well, and that's not as nice, I'm a bit of a sore loser,' he jokingly added.
