[divider style=”solid” top=”20″ bottom=”20″]

Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk and Silence remain deadlocked in a first place tie for the second month in a row. In fact, places 3-8 don’t budge either and hold their spots. The one change this month is that Hail, Caesar! falls off the list and is replaced by Passengers.

Here are the June Oscar predictions in Cinematography from The Gold Rush Gang:

OTHER CONTENDERS
Allied
The BFG
Hail, Caesar!
La La Land
Lion
Nocturnal Animals
Sully
War Machine

Although Silence remains atop the Film Editing chart, Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk is closing the gap and is now within two points of the Martin Scorsese film. The Birth of a Nation and Loving flip-flop places, putting the former at #3 and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is replaced by Sully this month.

Here are the June Oscar predictions in Film Editing from The Gold Rush Gang:

OTHER CONTENDERS

Café Society
Jason Bourne
La La Land

Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013.

He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Critics Choice Association (CCA), San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle (SFBAFCC) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
