OUTSTANDING CINEMATOGRAPHY

Philippe Le Sourd for The Beguiled
Roger Deakins for Blade Runner 2049
Hoyte van Hoytema for Dunkirk
Rachel Morrison for Mudbound
Edward Lachman for Wonderstruck

AND THE WINNER IS:


ROGER DEAKINS FOR BLADE RUNNER 2049

This is the third win and seventh nomination for Roger Deakins. He previously won for Fargo (1996) & Skyfall (2012). He was also nominated for O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000), The Man Who Wasn't There (2001), The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) & True Grit (2010).

It's no surprise that Deakins one of the best in the business showed great work. The new sequel to Blade Runner almost acts like a showcase for beautiful cinematography. The colour scheme is especially strong in the film with the blues, yellows, oranges, reds and every other colour in the rainbow being so powerful that i really kept my attention even if I had some problems with how the narraive progressed. Each and every year many hope that this will be his year for Deakins to finally win and I do to, however if he is not rewarded I'm good with the fact that he yet again does great work and continues to with so many new film makers.
