Visual Effect, Smishual Effects

The Visual Effects Society has nominated The Jungle Book (CG version) for a visual effects award.

Okay, I can understand that. There's a live-action kid running around in the middle of the action, all of which is flora and fauna and reptiles and furry mammals that are cooked up inside high-powered computers.

To put it another way, with the exception of Mowgli, the latest iteration of Rudyard Kipling's story is a full-bore animated feature in the same way that Finding Dory, Moana and Zootopia are animated features. So my question is, why aren't Finding Dory, Moana and Zootpia up for awards? Because if those features aren't visual effects extravaganzas in exactly the same way Jungle Book is, all eat my Apple Mac Pro work station.
