95th Oscars: Best Cinematography | Nominee Spotlight
Who else here agrees that The Batman should have been nominated for Best Cinematography?
Nah! All I could see was shadows fighting with each other.
@@MuhammadAhmad-oj6mf There is something wrong with you honestly lol, the movie was gorgeaus. The goat of cinematography has spoken ( Roger dekins ) "Batman is the best cinematography of 2022".
@@jyothis.n629 Let's agree to disagree, it didn't work for me.
Nope. It wws blurry as shit. Like Army of the Dead they ruined it with an obsession of depth of field to hide the volumes CGI backgrounds. Just like a HBO show.
@@jyothis.n629 Says the person who can't soell gorgeous.
Most people who’ve actually seen All Quiet On The Western Front will know it deserves best cinematography.
And it did🙂
Not denying that. Still think this category is full of old people mocking progression. This was even being made fun of during the show which I absolutely adored.
@@rafearcher7882All Quiet deserved the award but The Batman and TG:M should have been nominated at least.
@@brrrrrtenjoyer Agree. The cinematographers' new obsession for arthouse movies is strange.
nah The Batman is better lil bro nobody cares abt WW1 😹👎👎
I’m so glad they recognized Bardo. Not a single uninteresting shot in the entire movie. There’s no chance it wins but I’m just happy to see it here
Had the film been recognised more positively by critics, instead of being swept aside, it would definitely be one of the top contenders.
Same
- Avatar: The Way of Water - Babylon - The Banshees of Inisherin - The Batman - The Fabelmans - Top Gun: Maverick - Nope - Decision to Leave and they choose Elvis...
Still, Elvis has great cinematography. Blonde has some brillaint work and The Banshees is extremely inteligent. (Decision to Leave is underrated)
@@RCC_1 Elvis se ve normal, no se ni por qué estuvo nominada
I think All quite is the favorite for cinematography! But Top Gun Maverick, Avatar the way of water, The Fabelmans, Babylon and NOPE deserved the nomination and they didn't take it…
Avatar for cinematography, seriously? Special effects and CGI are not cinematography, no matter how beautiful the imagery is.
@@swray2112 No one said that CGI is cinematography.
@@EamonKelly Ok then, I've seen Avatar WoW twice now, so I'm familiar with the film, name a few scenes that the CAMERA work really stood out.
@@swray2112 Why are you trying to make this an argument?
@@EamonKelly I'm really not, I'm genuinely curious to know from people who think that Avatar deserved a cinematography nod, what about the very sparse camera work deserved it. I think that Decision to Leave deserved a nod, but could point out examples to support my opinion.
Empire Of Light may not be everyone's favourite to win, but I think we can all agree that Deakins is the unrivalled Master of cinematography right now! His resume of films is mind-blowing!
I loved this film and don’t understand the hate for it.
@@bobbybubby7977 Same! That scene where Olivia Colman goes into the cinema to watch Being There is pure magic!
@@samosullivan1744 Yes! Beautiful scene.
Still haven't seen All Quiet yet, but the best cinematography I've seen this year was Blonde and Decision to Leave, the latter of which is just insane that the academy COMPLETELY ignored this year!
watch all quiet, now. 🔫😡
Decision to Leave was easily a top 3 movie from last year imo. It should've been nominated for best cinematography, foreign movie, actress and director.
Western front definitely. Also Bardo's innovative visual techniques are unreal.
If I was in charge this would be my Top 5: 1. BARDO, False Chronicles of a Handful of Truths 2. Top Gun Maverick 3. Empire of Light 4. The Batman 5. Babylon
Interesting choice, mine are: 1. BARDO 2. The Batman 3. Tar 4. Decision to leave 5. All quiet on the western front
@@dunicht6376 I haven't seen Decision to Leave but I did debate a lot between The Batman and All Quiet
1.Bardo 2.The batman 3.All quiet on the western front 4.Nope 5.EMPIRE OF LIGHT
All Quiet on the Western Front will win.
Babylon was seriously robbed. Say what you will about the movie but the cinematography is one of the top three of last year for sure
All these cinematographies are amazing but it's a crime that "Babylon" wasn't nominated ! The cinematography of this movie deserved to win ! Anyway I love "Bardo" but my favourite cinematography is from "Elvis". I remember being totally amazed by the incredible shots of this movie. "Tar" cinematography was great too but I hope "Elvis" will win !
You had one job. How you not award top Gun, not only not the win, BUT NOT EVEN A NOMINATION
This year's Best Cinematography nominees are weak. We could have easily replaced Elvis and The Fabelmans with Batman, Top Gun: Maverick and Avatar: The Way of Water, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
My nominees for Cinematography should be: All Quiet on the Western Front (WINNER) Top Gun Maverick Empire of Light (because it got nominated everywhere) The Batman Elvis Should be the BAFTA 5
Mandy Walker!!!
Where's The Banshees of Inisherin? Yeah, I know. Not nominated.
This one and also Top Gun.
Replace Elvis and Empire of Light with Top Gun and EO then lineup would be perfect!!!!
That dance scene in BARDO
Right??? ❤️🔥
Although this year it will be strong as All quiet on the western front, or BARDO, honestly I would bet on Bardo and that is the photography made by Darius Khondji (who also worked with Fincher, Winding Refn, and Allen) showed us a Mexico to pure color, leaving behind that Mexico with a generic yellow filter, and in Mexico, it is visually beautiful and there are very good shots. While it would have been great if nominated for Best International Foreign Film, and Sound, or Production Design, I'd bet everything on the incredible cinematography.
Let’s give it to Elvis already 💯%
Teşekkürler
Elvis and Empire of Light getting nominated over Top Gun and Decision to Leave is almost parody-grade terrible.
These are great and should run during the Oscars broadcast, rather than the lame attempts at comedy.
The Oscars please tell Jimmy Kimmel to tell Brad Pitt and Quinton Tarantino and Snoop Dogg to star in a movie about pool
Atleast they should have nominated RRR for cinematography, if not the best international film. It really disappointed me😞
Best Cinematography could be the only award for TAR.
I still think Cate Blanchett is winning!
@@MuhammadAhmad-oj6mf well Cate just lost Oscar to Michelle Yeoh. How do you feel? 😂😂😂
@@encheknizam Good, because an Asian won in the Best Actress at last!!!
Avatar should have been here😡
Too bad top gun didn't get best cinemetography
Why The Batman is rejected 😢
False chronicles will win this
Jai NTR
Top Gun is not nominated for best cinematography! LOL!!
Claudio Miranda not being nominated for Cinematography for Top Gun: Maverick is baffling.
wow nice
Top gun maverick ???????
Top gun Babylon The Febalsman Nope Was snub by this s**t
All quiet on the western front 👍👍👍
TÀR
🎥🎬👆👆 ACESSE
Ok
So uh...where are The Batman and Top Gun???
I swear if The Batman was released closer to awards season it would have been nominated
I would have seen Babylon and Bones and All in here
Top Gun, The Northman, The Batman, Nope, Living, The Fabelmans... What a snubs and such a weak line Up this year
All low brow. What's good about "Top Gun - Maverick" are the action scenes. I could have done without the 50-year old single mother with a disapproving daughter fantasy. Why not use a drone? Drones exist! Why risk the lives of pilots in an impossible mission? Then the mission isn't impossible at all. Their equipment malfunctions, but with very little effort they miraculously hit their target. None of it makes any sense. The ending was a ripoff of the first "Star Wars". What about the lenses they chose? Everything was close up. I would describe it as claustrophobic. Because it didn't give a sense of space. The colors were terrible. The beach scene playing football was just recycling the volleyball scene from the original. It's like, you take something Tony Scott said, then try to repeat it in your own words. Instead of speaking your own mind. Then there was the piano in the bar scene. More cheap fan service. If I want to reminisce I can just play an HD version of "Top Gun". I don't need a rougher less authentic version that's been made more diverse and modern. "The Batman"... that was different. I bought it too, but modern Hollywood turns me off. I watched a few scenes as I was backing it up on my computer. But frankly, we have so much Batman and super hero stuff. It can all be great entertainment but doesn't challenge the mind. It doesn't do anything meaningful. It's only a diversion. There should be an Oscar type event for people who are interested in entertainment instead of the arts. The awards are supposed to elevate creative people. It has a political/social component. A lot of egotism. I'll give your argument some credit and say... every project requires work to be completed. If a project is successful at all, it should receive some praise. These are also business ventures. People invest money they risk losing. When we say it takes a village to raise a child, that's similar to what's required to make a film. People with a range of skills and means coming together. I can get behind that. Even for "Top Gun - Maverick". But film of the year? No way. It hasn't won my heart, or stimulated my intellect. It's still low brow entertainment.
@@technofeeliak LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WE HAVE A WINNER!! the most pretentious comment of KZhead goes to the good sir John Smith. May he continue sitting on top of his mountain-sized self-imflated ego.
@@technofeeliak First off, who said ANYTHING about film of the year? We're talking about cinematography here. Also get off your high horse about this high-art low-art nonsense. Nobody is arguing that some crowd-pleaser like No Way Home or Bullet Train should've been the true contenders for Best Picture. But calling anything as simply "low-brow" is just a slap-in-the-face insult to the countless teams that make these movies. When is something low-brow? Especially if you're designating Nope, The Northman, and The Fabelmans under that category. Is Everything Everywhere low-brow? RRR? Was Whiplash high art and La La Land low?
The fact that Avatar and Batman did not get nominated here is a joke 😂
No TOP GUN is a joke
This was a locked one for Top Gun. I still can't get over it. Probably never will.
Spectacular indeed
Fire Of Love deserved to be nominated here and Moonage Daydream
NOPE 🥺🥺🥺🥺
If the goal is to make a piece of art, something that expresses a profound message meant to reach hearts and minds, it's not going to appeal to a large audience. Something like pearls before swine. Which is frustrating. To want to give so much, speak a language that is so carefully worded, fall on deaf ears and limited minds. Language is an aspect of culture. It's not just a means to manipulate people. It's meant to unify people in meaning. You can't blame a pig for being what its DNA has made it. So resentment isn't going to change anything. The problem is a catch 22. You want to cultivate the intellect, but the intellect as it is doesn't see value in what you propose and doesn't put money into it. A construction worker may not see a reason to buy a pattern for making a dress. If the world is full of people who can't relate to you, speaking to them, explaining your vision will likely lead to a lot of dissatisfaction for them and you. How then do you create culture that's meant to inspire if no one can relate to the material? So, to make it relatable you simply things. And that's called low brow entertainment. Standards based on the lowest common denominator. If even the simplest mind can understand and perceive value in something then it's an easy sell. If I try to be less jaded, if take a different approach I could use the example of a story teller and be a bit idealistic about it. Like a grandfather who's really lived and has a particular skill when telling tales. Even children can get pulled in. Children who's minds, like the malnourished masses don't have much reason to care about what wiser people have to say. If your intention is to impart a gift, it has to appeal to values. We're so confused about values today, as we hear about multiculturalism being the desired state of society. That really means we don't share values. Our standards, our laws, our sense of direction, of style, all mixed together. Like a pallet of colors that are mixed to make grey. No contrast, despite its components being so diverse. With this in mind, how do you reach your target audience? What is the common issue we all face? Something on an emotional level? Yell louder? More explosions? A light show? Flash something on screen the way you would flash something to get a baby's attention? If movies are not appealing to audiences so much it's because they unrelatable. Because anything that's counter culture will get attention. It's not because it is controversial that it will be dismissed. It's because it has nothing good to offer. But if there is no agreed upon set of values then how can you be against anything? Just more grey porridge, the goop Oliver Twist eats in the orphanage. Make a movie called "Grey Goop - The Story of Porridge" and see how well that does. The movie "Idiocracy" offers a very cynical view. Characterizing the average person as an idiot. But if children who have no reason to care about hard work or values can be reached then so can the uncultivated minds of adults. That said, multiculturalism is an argument against meaning. As much as politics are adverse to what is personal.
What is this ?
The worst category of the year.
@@rafearcher7882 why?
@@Pancrasio-it9qd Batman snubbed, TGM snubbed, Avatar snubbed, Nope snubbed... The list is endless.
4 of the nominated films didn't win one single award. Seems like this category is the last Oscars' empire of snubbing boomers who reject modernity and embrace tradition at all costs. But it will FALL.
Where's Best Original Song???
Go woke, go broke 🤷🏼♂️
