Later on, in the award ceremony of 1963, it was divided and two separate categories were created i.e. 'Best Special Visual Effects' and 'Best Sound Effects'. From 1972 onwards, the Academy stopped giving awards for Visual Effects and instead gave 'Special Achievement Awards'. In 1996, the category was again renamed, this time as 'Best Visual Effects'.
