The first official 2018 Oscar predictions for the tech categories from the Gold Rush Gang and Blade Runner 2049 takes a clear lead on multiple categories. Dominating Cinematography with a perfect score of 100, could this finally be Roger Deakins’ ticket to Oscar gold or is it merely a replicant? Dunkirk isn’t too far behind here and with Hoyte Van Hoytema managing multiple film stocks and IMAX, he’s assured his first Oscar nomination. Wonderstruck‘s Edward Lachman, a two-time Oscar nominee for Todd Haynes’ Far From Heaven and Carol, also looks very good for a nomination even if the film falters in the top of the line categories. Darkest Hour‘s Bruno Delbonnel is a four-time Oscar nominee and lensing a film that has risen month to month in all top of the line categories so he’s to be taken very seriously as a contender. The riskiest prediction at the moment lands at #5 and that is Call Me By Your Name‘s Sayombhu Mukdeeprom. After Moonlight scored here (as well as in other major categories) on the way to its eventual Best Picture win, the cinematographer of recent visual spectacles Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives and the Arabian Nights trilogy could very well be a player here. In all, 18 films receive votes this month, one of the largest sets of any of our predictions.
