A LOT of good movies came out in the same year. Competition was fierce. Visual Effects is a category for which it definitely should have been nominated. But it would have been up against ET and Blade Runner, so...no guarantees.
It never would have occurred to me that "costumes" would be a cagtegory for which The Dark Crystal could have competed, myself. OK, so technically there are costume designers involved in the movie, but I wouldn't have expected that a movie in which costumes aren't worn by people would be eligible for the category.
