Simon Young Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Such a joke that the Parasite wasn’t nominated in this category. ade towell, Geoff CB and heart0less 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heart0less Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 IMHO, it's either 1917 or The Lighthouse. Joker was neat, lighting was on-point, but nothing groundbreaking. The Irishman - its main feature was the whole 'de-aging' process; to me, the results were somewhat hilarious. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood?

Geoff CB Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 1917 is going to win because the "single shot" aspect. I am very glad The Lighthouse got a nomination here though. Use of old glass, old film stock, and a great grade in a unique aspect ratio. It definitely took risks and it paid off.

IronFilm Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I'm placing my bets on 1917 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
currensheldon Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 1917 is brilliant. One of my favorite movies of the year and insanely remarkable how they made the film. The sets, the lighting, the choreography, and the techniques used in this film are all groundbreaking - and it's even a great, emotional, and beautiful film. Right up there with Dunkirk as my favorite war movie of all time. This video shows a lot of what makes the filming of this movie so special: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts exactly. I'd be happily surprised if The Lighthouse wins though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it stay believable that the man character could do what he did physically over a 2 1/2 hour period? Everything looks like he's Jack Bauer, who also had some what of a continues time-line. 24 is one of my all-time favorite cinema shows.

billdoubleu Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I haven't seen 1917 yet. The Lighthouse looked absolutely incredible though. There was definitely so very much time and effort put forth in crafting that look. I think it really paid off in serving the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Collins Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 For me Portrait of a Lady on Fire’ should definitely have been nominated for cinematography. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 1917 did a great job of keeping the film exciting, but it is not "action-packed" like most action/war movies. It feels very realistic. It's more stressful and tense than high-flying action. And, like in real life, any fights are messy and realistic. I really think they toed the line very well of action and reality.

Geoff CB Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Finally saw 1917. And after seeing I think it deserves the win. The staging and framing throughout the film did not suffer from it being a single shot, and there were only a few moments where I think a traditional style would have suited the story better in the particular moment. The sequence in a burned down town that is lit primarily with flares is absolutely stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
