Likely Best Cinematography Nominees this year?

[Tom Lowe]

Early in the year I thought this year's Oscar for Best Cinematography was going to be dull, but after the release of several Fall films like Lust, Caution and Jesse James, things have become interesting. I also liked Astronaut Farmer and Zodiac.

 

Note: I have not seen Into the Wild.

 

Which four films that you have seen this year should be nominated for Best Cinematography?

[David Mullen ASC]

It's a bit early still for guessing, with probably a slew of movies yet to be released. And there are a number of movies I missed this year.

 

I'd say for now that, for me, it comes down to:

Across the Universe

Assassination of Jesse James

Lust, Caution

Elizabeth: The Golden Age

Caravaggio

 

Runners-up:

American Gangster

Sunshine

3:10 to Yuma

Transformers

Michael Clayton

Ocean's 13

Pirates of the Caribbean 3

Fracture

Pathfinder

Zodiak

300

Breach

Miss Potter
