A few minutes ago the American Society of Cinematographers unveils nominees in all five competitive categories for the current edition of the ASC Awards for Outstanding Cinematography.  The winners will be revealed at the organization's February 17 ceremony, which will be emceed this year by Ben Mankiewicz.  The event will be held at the Ray Dolby Ballroom at Hollywood and Highland.

Four cinematographers selected as this year's ASC Awards honorees were previously announced with Russell Carpenter receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award, Russell Boyd the International Award, Alan Caso the Career Achievement in Television Award and Stephen Lighthill the President Award.  The 2017 Board of Governors Award honoree -a non-cinematographer selected for their contributions to filmmaking- will be announced later this month.

Agree Blade Runner 2049 has outstanding cinematography and I'm absolutely biased toward the film's director as LOVE everything by Denis Villeneuve BUT what he's been doing in America does not match the high quality films he did in Canada and in French, sigh.  To be honest got really bored watching film even if images were outstanding... needed more substance.  Dunkirk not my cup-of-tea at all, Darkest Hour is fine but Mudbound and The Shape of Water definitively become my top cinematography contenders.  The Shape of Water has a very-darkish cinematography which obviously helps the story and sets an old-fashion, old-times setting to film; Mudbound cinematography is outstanding and contributes to the grim storytelling style film has.

The ASC Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography for work in 2017 are:

Theatrical Release
*Roger Deakins for Blade Runner 2049
Bruno Delbonnel for Darkest Hour
Hoyte van Hoytema for Dunkirk
Rachel Morrison for Mudbound
Dan Lausten for The Shape of Water

Spotlight Award
Mate Herbai for On Body and Soul
Mikhail Krichman for Loveless
*Mart Taniel for November

70th Festival de Cannes Award Winners

Suddenly, Cannes is over. Once Again. Feel kind of sad.  Very glad there are great movies in this year edition that hope to see sooner than later. Regret that jury didn't wanted to make history, didn't wanted to be remembered forever, didn't wanted to give for the very first time EVER the Palme d'Or to a two-time-winner director and make him the ONLY three-time winner. Sigh. Instead they opted for a Swedish film in English by a great Swedish director debut in not-his-mother-tongue film.  The good news is that film could be good as not many directors have succeed when they do films in other languages; so, good for him (!) and also, for us -the audience. Still, these days have been fun and now will have to adjust to calm, which is not what Ruben Östlund is having today and will have for a while -just check photo.  Then there is a record for Coppola as she's the first woman to ever win a screenwriting Oscar and the second woman to win in Cannes directing prize. But u...

2017 MUAHS Annual Awards Winners

Last night was a busy night in Hollywood as there were three awards ceremony to attend; but, perhaps one of the most colorful has to be from the Make-up and Hair guild that gave awards to some unexpected winners while snubbing my favorites (lol). Most interesting is the Make Up top award winner as went to a film with no Oscar nomination and great make-up in one of the "movies"; see, I believe there were 2 "movies" in Nocturnal Animals , one very unpleasant to watch and another very pleasant with absolutely great esthetics -the later has fantastic make-up. On the other hand, Best Period and/or Character Make-up went to a film with an Oscar nomination, Suicide Squad , a film with obvious fantastic make-up but this win could mean an Oscar win?  Don't know as guild has not many members that vote in the Academy, at least when we compare it against the largest actor, director or writers guild.  Then perhaps another MUAHS award winner, Star Trek Beyond , could have bet...

Today, October 11th the Academy published the list of films in competition for the 2017 Foreign Language film Oscar which honors films released in their respective countries during the 2016 period. There are quite a few changes. For starters there are 85 and not 86 submissions, then Afghanistan, Armenia and Tunisia are out; last, have to add Cambodia and Yemen.  Japan's entry seems to be the same but has a different name in English: Nagasaki: Memories of My Son by Yoji Yamada and Malaysia's English name is different to Redha. Most important is to highlight that this edition will be the 60th Anniversary of the Foreign Language Film Category as was introduced in 1956 for the 29th Academy Awards. To celebrate the anniversary the Academy created a site with all the category winners which is here and the most amazing collection with 60 videos with the acceptance speeches from the winners which is here .
