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

#Oscars2018 Makeup and Hairstyling Shortlist

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced yesterday that seven (7) films remain in competition in the Makeup and Hairstyling category for the 90th Academy Awards. On Saturday, January 6, 2018, all members of the Academy’s Makeup Artists and Hairstylists Branch will be invited to view 10-minute excerpts from each of the seven shortlisted films. Following the screenings, members will vote to nominate three films for final Oscar consideration. Seems that this year there were not many films that qualified for this category and as far as what is happening up-to-today, this category is the first that will not have five nominations. But what puzzles me most is the reason why behind NOT including films like The Shape of Water, Blade Runner 2049 or even Star Wars: The Last Jedi.  Perhaps is because now lines between VFX and makeup blur, especially for us viewers and for those who are trying to guess something in current awards season. The films are listed below in alphabeti...

43rd Annual Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards Winners

The so-called " most powerful " group of American critics voted their 2017 awards and top award went to Luca Guadagnino's Call Me by Your Name which is a surprise in the sense that film in America was the object of negative reviews, especially those related to film story being about " gay statutory rape " (sic). Sigh. Then, under group standards believe voting was "fast" as only took five-and-a-half hours and I recall voting for longer than six hours, lol.  Still was too-long for me to follow live. Most interesting were the awards given to female actors as it's great to see outstanding Sally Hawkins being honored as she has had many-many great performances along her career and Laurie Metcalf being recognized for her work in the big screen. No doubt that group liked Guadagnino's film but thanks to them Guillermo del Toro's latest film has been put in the awards race.  Notorious is how once again the west coast film critics honors differ from...

90th Academy Awards Foreign Language Films Submissions

10/6/17 Update - AMPAS surprised many of us with what we can call an early release of the submitted and accepted films to the foreign language film category as usually takes them 10 days or more to announce the complete list. But more interesting is the amount of countries that had films accepted, a new record (!) with 92 submitting films this year, which are seven (7) more countries/films than last year's 85. There are too many great films in list and too-many films, period. Hopefully new "simplified" process will allow more films to be seen by more people, but believe is just a hope as know that films with strong promotion will have better chances than those without it. Already have received several invitations to private screenings in LA and yes are for films from the great filmmakers as this year list has several master filmmakers like Haneke, Akin, Ostlund, Martel, Roskam, Holland, Lelio, Bartas, Trier, and Zvyagintsev plus perhaps lesser known but already collec...
