AND THE WINNER IS:
JAMES LAXTON FOR ("CHAPTER 1" GEORGIA"), THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD
This is the first win and nomination for James Laxton.
Similar to Britell in the music composition category Laxton's work on Underground Railroad was another element I was really looking forward to based on his previous collaborations with Barry Jenkins. It's really overwhelming how beautiful the shot compositions of Railroad are where every image looks and feels as if it could be framed separate from the series. Laxton's work adds to the series by making it stunningly beautiful while also making the narrative come to the forefront.
