2009 Oscar Preview: Cinematography

Continuing this year’s slightly different version of my Oscar preview we look at Cinematography and pick a head and a heart winner.

Nominees
Changeling
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
The Dark Knight
The Reader
Slumdog Millionaire


Heart Pick: The Dark Knight
This is a tough category for me to pick and not just because I haven’t seen all the films. Some of my favorite directors who always utilize their cinematographers to the highest extent helm three of the nominees. That being said, I’m going Dark Knight here thanks to the levels of blackness the film contains and the amazing IMAX work Nolan and company accomplished.

Head Pick: Slumdog Millionaire
I’ve heard Slumdog described as a deviation from Danny Boyle’s style but truth is I think the man is a virtual changeling. Here the cinematography looks outstanding and this looks like one of many awards the picture will take home Oscar night.
