General overview[]
On January 2019, Lambert was revealed to have earned his second Best Visual Effects Oscar nomination for First Man. This, a year after he won the Academy Award for Blade Runner 2049.[3] Throughout his career, Paul has excelled in combining both the creative and technical aspects of visual effects, and many novel techniques and memorable visuals have originated from his projects. Notably, Lambert is the sole inventor of the bluescreen keying algorithm ‘IBK’ which is used in Nuke, the visual effects industry’s compositing software of choice. In 2008, Paul was one of the architects of the on-set lighting capture and processing techniques for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. This was instrumental in creating the photorealism of an aged computer-generated Brad Pitt, which led to a VFX Oscar for the team’s work. This lighting capture technique is still in use to this day.[4]
Lambert has won three Academy Awards for Best Visual Effects: one for the 2017 film Blade Runner 2049 at the 90th Academy Awards, another for the 2018 film First Man at the 91st Academy Awards, and his most recent one in 2022, at the 94th Academy Awards, for his work on Dune: Part One.[5][6]
