An object complement follows a direct object with the purpose of renaming it or stating what it has become. Certain verbs commonly attract object complements, such as to consider, to call, to to create, to make, etc. It is important to remember that the object complement can be a noun, a pronoun, an adjective, or a phrase. Study the example below:

- We consider them intelligent.

"Them" is the direct object of "consider". It is followed by the adjective "intelligent", which functions as the object complement. Notice that the sentence we are supposed to analyze is similar:

- We consider them the best astronauts in the world.

This time, the object "them" has a whole phrase as its complement, "the best astronauts in the world". It's as if we are answering a question about the object. For the first sentence, what do we consider them? Intelligent. For the second one, what do we consider them? The best astronauts in the world.
