With three nominations, Avengers: Infinity War tops the list of nominees for the Hollywood Professional Association Awards, which celebrate accomplishments in post-production for films, TV, and advertising.

The awards celebrate color grading, visual effects, and sound. The nomination period runs from September to September (ideal for giving summer blockbusters a shot at the title), and so nominees alongside Avengers include last year's Best Picture winner The Shape of Water and the critically-beloved Blade Runner 2049.

Supergirl, Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, Black Panther, Thor: Ragnarok, and DC's Legends of Tomorrow also scored nominations.

You can see the full list of nominees, thanks to The Hollywood Reporter, below. The awards ceremony will take place on November 15 in Los Angeles.
