However, he scored his breakthrough in applied art, and particularly in his high- ; profile movie work on Ridley Scott's Alien. In 1980, he received an Oscar for ""Best Achievement for Visual Effects"" for his designs of the film's title creature and its otherworldly environment. His other celebrated film projects include Poltergeist II, Alien 3 and Species, for which he designed a deadly but beautiful half-extraterrestrial female creature and a fantastic nightmare train. Giger's album covers for Debbie Harry and Emerson, Lake and Palmer were voted as being among the top hundred in music history by music journalists, while furniture designed by Giger graces a bar in Chur, Switzerland." ; FINE.
