RichWS Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) If I were a voter, Deakins would get mine. Edited February 12, 2013 by RichWS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travod Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I'd go with Anna Karenina. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stingray Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 If I were a voter, Deakins would get mine. But you aren't a voter, so why don't you take your big stick and your boy-friend, and find a bus to catch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Even though I dont think its near his best work, I hope Deakins finally wins an Oscar for Skyfall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sims Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Ugh, don't just give him one when he doesn't deserve it. He's been fucked over but he'll have more chances. Maybe he'll win for Villeneuve's film this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 He totally does deserve it for Skyfall though. He won't get it because of the Academy's recent inexplicable hard-on for 3D photography though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life of Pi was better shot and more beautiful than Skyfall imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Life of Pi was better shot and more beautiful than Skyfall imo Eh, the cinematography itself was kinda ordinary to me. Deakins makes digital look like film to a stunning effect. I can remember way more great imagery from Skyfall than I can from Life of Pi.

I can remember way more great imagery from Skyfall than I can from Life of Pi. Really? To me its the exact opposite: I have most of the imagery of Pi vividly in my memory, but from Skyfall the only gorgeous images I remember are the Hong Kong octopus fight and the scottish landscapes Edited February 18, 2013 by Jack Nevada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stingray Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) For me its something like: 1. Life of Pi 2. The Master 3. Skyfall 4. Prometheus 5. Django Unchained Haven't seen Anna Karenina or Lincoln yet. Edited February 18, 2013 by The Stingray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Yeah, there aren't many specific shots that stand out to me there. I would definitely say that the vfx or the production design is what makes the movie look great more so than what the cinematographer was doing.

CoolioD1 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 It's a mixed bag. There's certainly some excellent work in there though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sims Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Life of Pi used color to such an effective degree. That is NOT all on the VFX crew. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Nah, it was just underwhelming visually. Moonrise or Master deserved a nomination more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acsc1312 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) AK should have this in the bag out of the 5 nominated, but pi is the only other worthy nominee. Edited February 18, 2013 by acsc1312 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
