2019 Oscar Predictions: FILM EDITING and CINEMATOGRAPHY (November)

Published by

ROMA bumps First Man in Film Editing and keeps the top spot in Cinematography this month, further pushing the Netflix film on its way to Best Picture.

A Star Is Born also moves up, jumping over The Favourite, while the rest of If Beale Street Could Talk stays in a holding pattern at #5. Spots 6-10 don’t budge either. 

Cold War (Poland)

Cinematography sees a locked in top four of ROMA, If Beale Street Could Talk, First Man and A Star Is Born but finds Cold War in the top 5 for the first time. This could be the first time ever that two black and white foreign language films are nominated in this category in the same year. Amazon has been ramping up the screenings and Q&As for the film, bringing Oscar-nominated cinematographer Lucasz Zal along to many of them. The last black and white film nominated here was Zal’s nominated work in 2014’s Ida
