Adam McDaid Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I think they forgot to nominate Janusz Kaminski for Diving Bell. That's a pretty big oversight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Buick Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I thought they'd already nominated Stuart Brereton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Michael Lehnert Posted January 17, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted January 17, 2008 Bourne Ultimatum? Really? OK This is indeed beyond my grasp. I think the entire Bourne trilogy is very much overrated, cinematically & cinematographically, and I truly cannot understand why Brocolli & Wilson started to get "worried" about those films in respect to their 007 franchise? As someone who thinks that both BAFTAS and the Golden Globes have been the consistently most respectable mainstream awards over the past decades (there is Locarno, too), I think Seamus McGarvey should get the award for "Atonement" out of the nominations. And I think that will happen, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Max Jacoby Posted January 17, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted January 17, 2008 I am also surprised to see Bourne in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Tim Terner Posted January 17, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted January 17, 2008 I know a cinematographer can get nominated twice for different films for the Oscars. Is this not the case with the BAFTA's as I thought Roger Deakins might have also got one for The Assassination of Jesse James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adam Frisch FSF Posted January 20, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted January 20, 2008 For my money I think it should be Harris or Bob Elswit. Deakins obviously a deadly contender, but more so for the great Assassination of Jesse James... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chayse Irvin ASC, CSC Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I'm really upset that Roger Deakins was nominated for No country and not for Jesse James. Explain that. The extraordinary photography in Jesse James only comes around so often. No respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Holland Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 It was released before " No Country for Old Men " and "There Will Be Blood " . So i dont get it either . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Holland Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 Just received this from BAFTA. Dear John The Bourne Ultimatum is a British Film under UK Film Council guidelines and has British film certification . It is therefore eligible for the award. When voting the members vote for a film rather than an individual. The Assassination of Jesse James simply didnt receive as many votes from our voting membership as No Country for Old Men in the category . No Country for Old Men was released on 18 January. The deadline by which films must open to be eligible for the Film Awards is 8 February. Best wishes Louise Beasley . Film Awards Officer . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
