The Academy Awards, better known as the Oscars, is Hollywood’s most prestigious artistic award in the film industry. The most significant Oscar “losers,” meaning most nominated and walk away with zero awards, are 1977’s “The Turning Point” and 1985’s “The Color Purple” at 11 each.Ģ021 Oscars predictions are here. “La La Land” is the only film of the three to have lost best picture. The most nominated films in Academy history are “All About Eve,” “Titanic” and “La La Land” at 14. The most awarded films in Oscar history are “Ben-Hur,” “Titanic” and “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” at 11 statuettes. Should have been here: “In the Heights” (Warner Bros) – Alice Brooks Should win: “Dune” (Warner Bros) – Greig Fraser Will win: “Dune” (Warner Bros) – Greig FraserĬould win: “The Power of the Dog” (Netflix) – Ari Wegner That would also be the case for “CODA” cinematographer Paula Huidobro, who wasn’t nominated.
BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY SHOTS MOVIE
If “The Power of the Dog” were to win best picture, the movie would be the first shot by a woman to win the top prize. While Wegner’s nomination is historic as the second woman to be nominated for cinematography, and the Critics Choice gave her a boost with their award, she’s hoping the love for “The Power of the Dog” runs deep enough to push her over the edge.
BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY SHOTS SERIES
Fraser is aided by the domination of “Dune” in the artisan races, in addition to the success and beauty of Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” which may have helped during final voting. In 2014, he was honored with an ASC Award for Best Cinematography in a Half-Hour Episodic Series for his work on Drunk History. The American Society of Cinematographers handed out its top prize in feature film visual storytelling to “Dune.” Last year’s winner, Erik Messerschmidt for “Mank,” who presented the feature film prize to Greig Fraser, won the Oscar without any other major precursor. It’s between Greig Fraser’s diligent work on “ Dune” and Ari Wegner’s passionately framed “The Power of the Dog.” In a close race that could go in any direction, both are the top two leading winners of the awards season so far. The race for best cinematography is among the most competitive races this year at the Oscars.
