I am shocked that no other superhero flicks won Oscars for sound, sound editing or visual effects

I hoped to see a special Oscar statue with a cape.

...or some fantastic Kirby-esque headgear... like Galactus' helmet.

How much do you wanna bet we see a montage with giant graphics of Bif! Pow! and Bam!?

I'd bet on it. That's how the medium is viewed. It's been decades since that, with billion dollar movies made, but hey...

It's probably been 20 years since I've watched an awards show.
This news won't change that.

I'd enjoy that. It'd be better than "Biff! Bam! Pow!" at the very least.

Who says there can't be both?

The article did say that it would be part of a larger tribute to heroes so this just might be 1or 2 minutes of a larger montage.

I remember that there was and still is an issue that the Oscars doesn't recognize stunt work. In fact here's a recent article quoting Jason Staham. I don't understand why they don't get recognized either. Those are some serious heroes. Are they afraid how it will make actors look fake?

stuntwork deserves its own category since the first oscars
