FINAL 2019 Oscar Predictions: CINEMATOGRAPHY
Director Alfonso Cuarón (Roma) should be set to make history as the first director to win the cinematography Oscar for shooting his own film.
The American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) opted for Cold War‘s Łukasz Żal and there is a slight chance he could spoil. The two black and white foreign language films are going head to head in three categories but prevailing wisdom puts Roma and Cuarón ahead.
| 1. ROMA – Alfonso Cuarón (BAFTA, BFCA) |
| 2. COLD WAR – Łukasz Żal (ASC) |
| 3. THE FAVOURITE – Robbie Ryan |
| 4. A STAR IS BORN – Matthew Libatique |
| 5. NEVER LOOK AWAY – Caleb Deschanel |
| ASC – American Society of Cinematographers |
| BAFTA – British Film Academy Awards |
| BFCA – Broadcast Film Critics Association (Critics Choice) |
Erik Anderson is the founder/owner and Editor-in-Chief of AwardsWatch and has always loved all things Oscar, having watched the Academy Awards since he was in single digits; making lists, rankings and predictions throughout the show. This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. 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.
