Alfonso Cuaron's "Gravity" received the best achievement in visual effects award at the 86th Academy Awards here Sunday.

Timothy Webber, Chris Lawrence, David Shirk and Neil Corbould - the team behind the 'out of the world' experience of the movie, collected the golden statuette at the ceremony.

The movie, which stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, narrates the story of three members of a shuttle crew, who while working outside the craft to repair the Hubble telescope, have a catastrophic encounter with a field of space debris.

The movie was in contention for the Oscar with "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug", "Iron Man 3", "The Lone Ranger" and "Star Trek Into Darkness".
