      The first 2 of the LOTR movies really do deserve best cinematography frankly ...
      The first one had those amazing extended scenes with Balrog,, the second one had really other worldly scenes in marshlands, the battle scenes in the rain with so many monsters and soldiers in such gritty details and amazing lightings ...
      Both movies were flawless in using cgi to enhance the epic feel of the story which is a rare thing considering how most cgi cheapens movies to become kiddie fares .... They had amazing compositions in every single scenes with no dull moments at all ...

      Dunkirk doesn't even deserve to be nominated for cinematography, 'cause de film have flaws in the use of natural lighting, and it's noticeable in some scenes (like some dogfights scenes) how the lighting change from take to take when they edited the movie. I still don't get why they nominated Hoyte van Hoytema for this movie and not for Interstellar, where he did a better job.

      So many incredibly memorable and culturally defining films are snubbed on a regular basis. I will never understand how inception or TDK didnt win in 2010 and 2008 respectively.
      Name one movie from those years off the top of your head that is more memorable and better than those films. I really enjoyed Slumdog millionaire but the fact it won over TDK makes me question how prestigious the academy really is.

  • @jmwen1
    @jmwen1 6 лет назад +186

    Seeing all the nominations compiled together like this is super interesting. I think it actually reveals a possible explanation behind all of Deakins' losses. First of all, Deakins tends to work on understated projects. Few of them are as mainstream and 'exciting' as Titanic, Gravity, or Slumdog Millionaire--basically, they contain less showy subject matter. And Deakins' photographic style itself isn't flashy in the way that many of those winners were. It seems that you may need to have a better eye and deeper appreciation for photography than the average academy viewer to see the profound mastery in his work.

I personally thought City of God did their cinematography style much better than Slumdog Millionaire but can’t hate in the it’s Oscar win too much because the film’s cinematography does enough to separate itself from City of God on how beautifully the film’s cinematography showcased the overall beauty of India’s landscapes and culture. The train scenes and the Taj Mahal were shot beautifully.
