Who do you think will win this year? Nominees are: A Star Is Born, Cold War, Never Look Away, Roma, The Favourite. (I know we used A Star Is Born for the thumbnail, but I'm pulling for Roma!)
So this is what cinematography means. I remember seeing most of the films in this video and at certain points - I had this emotion inside me. This strange and a certain kind of feeling that I only had watching some amazing shots. Now I understand why. The cinematography. And all these years, I've failed to give a name to it. But now I have - brilliance. Absolute brilliance in seeing something in mind so that the audience could see it in a screen. What a remarkable skill. And to think that Oscars was going to give them during the break? Shame.
@@NuclearGenesis not really. The visuals are amazing but it lacks substance. The characters are plain and undeveloped, it's as if the director focused so much on the visuals that he forgot about the plot and characters
Maddie Quintino i think the visuals is a massive part of what makes blade runner, blade runner. And it’s meant to be a very slow paced sci-fi movie. I think the plot was done quite well with K seeking if he is human and what it means to be one
@@tea-dc4or I was talking about the first Blade Runner tho, not the 2049 one. I loved the 2049 a lot, it's one of my favourite sci-fi movies ever actually :)
In a way, I feel that cinematography is more important than any best actress or actor category. These cinematographers can invoke feelings in audiences more than just a actor playing a part. (although they’re very important to the story)
That scene in Cold War where they are leaning against the mirror and party is happening in the background through the mirror is absolutely amazing. It represents how the two kinda feel disconnected from the rest of the party
Jagd Töpfer it’s a great looking movie as well, but personally I prefer the more refined look to FOTR, as opposed to the grittier, darker aesthetics in ROTK.
I really loved this video. Here's your like. Nice job. "Roma" should (and must) win best cinematography. And "The Favorite" must win best art direction.
A Star is Born had the least noticeable cinematography. Cold War had the most reminiscent of Ingmar Bergman (that’s a good thing) Never Look Away had the most average looking cinematography for an Oscar film Roma has the most original cinematography The Favourite has the strangest cinematography
Mandy 2018 I know never had a shot at anything but omg were the visuals everything in that film. The lightning and complete darkness. The angle in which the camera moves and how things flowed into the abyss of evil insanity!!! Honestly one of my omg movies of 2018. Didn’t expect anything of it and got everything and more. If they could have 11 nominees, I would have also added along with the 5 already nominated, Mandy, First Man, Hereditary, The Old Man And The Gun, Suspiria and Elizabeth Harvest (not a great movie by any means but the cinematography in that one is pretty solid especially all the color lit scenes.)
Amazingly crafted recompilation, you definitely chose the most visually stunning sequences of these movies. And yes, Citizen Kane’s cinematography is a monument and should have won for B/W in 1941. This year I was for Roma because of its amazing, visually immersive shots, though Cold War and The Favourite were also very strong.
Beautifully shot movies I've seen so far: Gone with the Wind, Phantom of the Opera (1943), On the Waterfront, The Bridge on the River Kwai, The DIary of Anne Frank, Ben-Hur, West Side Story, Lawrence of Arabia, Bonnie & Clyde, Romeo & Juliet (1968), Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Gandhi, Glory, Dances with Wolves, Schindler's List, Titanic, Saving Private Ryan, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Road to Perdition, The Aviator, Pan's Labyrinth, There Will Be Blood, Slumdog Millionaire, Avatar, Inception, Hugo, Life of Pi, Gravity, Birdman, The Revenant, La La Land, Blade Runner 2049, and A Star Is Born.
Although I didn't appreciate the story and plot in Roma because I couldn't connect with the Mexican roots of the film, the cinematography is perfect, you can pause it at any time and it's a million dollar painting. Cuaron has this

As a Mexican, I can assure you that she faithfully portrayed the way of life of the Mexican, not the sweetened one that the media imposed on you (subject to the tastes of politicians, businessmen and celebrities).
@@francescadowns115 They meant they couldn't appreciate it to its fullest potential, because they couldn't relate to it. I'm sure a person from a different country would react the same way to movies strongly linked with America, and that's completely understandable. Also why do you say "white people", this is obviously about culture and nationality not race. Stop making issues out of completely harmless things, a real racist or nationalist wouldn't even watch a movie like Roma.
This is so beautiful.... reminds me why I love film so much. I think Roma will win this year but I do think A Star Is Born's cinematography is underrated.
Why do we get barely a second of the clips from the first 60-80 years of cinema? It implies that they're not as important as the clips you've presented from the 2000's and 2010's, and they appear to be brushed over in such reduced quality too.

Haven't seen Never Look Away yet, but I love all the other nominees' cinematography. My Ranking is: 1) The Favourite 2) Roma 3) A Star Is Born (my favorite movie of 2018) 4) Cold War
Great video montage. Next year do you think you could add the nominees as screenshots at the beginning of each winning year? I believe the nominees should get some love as well. Regards Wayne L. Henry.
first Lee I love your Channel, could you ever do a compilation of best original screenplay winners? Eternal Sunshine is so far my favorite movie, what's yours?
The costumes, production design and cinematography worked BEAUTIFULLY together. They each complimented each other brilliantly. I do hope Roma wins though, it would be the first time since Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf a black and white movie won.
So happy Roma won some awards. I loved that movie. I'm really surprised Orson Welles never got an award for Best Cinematography!! That's ridiculous. He should've gotten it for Citizen Kane, Touch of Evil, and particularly The Trial!! All brilliant movies with beautiful cinematography!
@@ronaldmcdonald2817 The Fellowship definitely deserved the nomination for sound mixing, but not the win. I think it should have won for Costumes and Production Design as well as the four it did win.
@@ClassicalMusic2002 I think it deserved all its nominations but what I meant is that I didn’t think it deserved the win over Black Hawk Down. My bad if it was unclear.
And that's even with the Oscar's huge American bias. The awards are American, the academy is mostly American, they take place in America, the money all comes from America. Can you imagine how many non-american films there would be if it was completely impartial?
then you should see Blade Runner 2049, The White Ribbon, The Neon Demon, Amour, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Happy End, Le Temps du Loup and Eyes Wide Shut.and you will realize that the cinematography of that movie is not even an opponent to the ones I mentioned before. Even the Favourite was more risky because of the use of Wide Angle Lenses, and more in period movie.
Who do you think will win this year? Nominees are: A Star Is Born, Cold War, Never Look Away, Roma, The Favourite. (I know we used A Star Is Born for the thumbnail, but I'm pulling for Roma!)
Burger Fiction Either a Star is Born or Roma
Roma
IS ROMA WHO WINING THIS YEAR FOR SURE
Cold War
Roma. For sure.
It's crazy how modern so many of the shots in the 30's-60's movies look.
That's why they won, they were pioneers of the craft
You have any idea where can I watch these films?
exactly.,
I hate comments like this
Exactly. I was just thinking the same
This made me want to watch ALL THE MOVIES
Go for it! They're all available on DVD and many are available on blu-ray.
When Roger Deakins finally won last year, it was truly something to behold. Alfonso has this one in the bag.
Agreed!
I think the favourite will win this year, but who knows
@Marcus Gonzales It's not going to, but it is fully deserving. Roma is completely deserving too.
So this is what cinematography means. I remember seeing most of the films in this video and at certain points - I had this emotion inside me.

Well said.
I think the importance of good cinematography on a movie is vastly underappreciated.
The editing between Lawrence of Arabia and Hud was a nice touch.
That scene is ready for that.
Haha, I noticed that as well! Bravo!!
Blade runner was so well deserved
@@NuclearGenesis not really. The visuals are amazing but it lacks substance. The characters are plain and undeveloped, it's as if the director focused so much on the visuals that he forgot about the plot and characters

Imma scream if Roma doesn't win this year
I thought you said you had "lost all of the respect you had left for the oscars" why do you care?
It won :)
oh hey
SCHAAFF WHAT ARE YOUN DOING HERE
@@HAL-vm3wn they are as fake as they come. They just want a particular movie to win and if it doesn't they shit on oscars.
That scene in Cold War where they are leaning against the mirror and party is happening in the background through the mirror is absolutely amazing. It represents how the two kinda feel disconnected from the rest of the party
That scene blew my mind, it tricks us in a way no other film did. Beautiful!
It's amazing how many times Leo pops up in these winners, he's been a star for a long time
Also excited to see Roger Deakins get another win!
So many movies with Paul Newman, he could enlighten a movie on his own
I noticed the same thing.
And Dicaprio. He's in at least three!
Fellowship of the Ring has got to be one of the best-looking movies ever made. Beautiful looking film.
I LOVE the shot of Sam, Frodo, and Gandalf's silhouettes outlined against the purple sky. My favorite in the entire movie.
www.pinterest.com/pin/449515606530915052/
That one.
I'd say Return of the King looks way better. I think they got a better handle of how to shoot special effect scenes.
Jagd Töpfer it’s a great looking movie as well, but personally I prefer the more refined look to FOTR, as opposed to the grittier, darker aesthetics in ROTK.
@@ClassicalMusic2002 Oh yes, that one's so beautiful...
This is why we love movies: for Cinematography and the Score.
I miss the 2001 A Space Odyssey
@Mrs. Phyllis Stephens That's insane. Few movies are as beautiful as 2001.
Please please please keep making videos like this. It is one of the best I have ever seen on UA-cam.
I think Roma should win. It's cinematography reminds me of Schindler's List.
How? Because it's black and white? Cuz that's the only similarity I can think of.
Yeah, composition, lighting, and camera operation are completely different from Schindler's list.
It did
I really loved this video.
Here's your like. Nice job.
"Roma" should (and must) win best cinematography.
And "The Favorite" must win best art direction.
I dont think best art direction is a category. Ur probably thinking of best Production design or best costume design or best hair/makeup.
@@anshmathur9347 The art direction is the production design and the set decoration, according to the Oscars.
Omar Sosa The three art ones are Production, Makeup/hair, and costume. I’ve watched the Past oscars so I know.
3:42 that's an odd way to spell '200I a space odyssey'
2013-2015 = three years worth of Emanuel Lubezki reigning supreme.
And now Alfonso Cuarón won after emulating Chivo's style.
As it should be
2013, 2014 and 2015. Same person, with 3 different techniques mastered in each work. That man is in the GOAT conversation.
and he should've been the king since 2011 with Tree of Life
A Star is Born had the least noticeable cinematography.
Cold War had the most reminiscent of Ingmar Bergman (that’s a good thing)
Never Look Away had the most average looking cinematography for an Oscar film
Roma has the most original cinematography
The Favourite has the strangest cinematography
Gar96 never look away had lovely cinematography. Don’t kid yourself.
Gar96
There's no any similarity between Cold War and Bergman!
I disagree with everything
Mandy 2018 I know never had a shot at anything but omg were the visuals everything in that film. The lightning and complete darkness. The angle in which the camera moves and how things flowed into the abyss of evil insanity!!! Honestly one of my omg movies of 2018. Didn’t expect anything of it and got everything and more.

how interstellar didn’t win i will never understand
I always fall out with people who prefer the Martian and Gravity. Interstellar is a masterpiece. Nolans best movie.
Connor Saxon agreed.
Connor Saxon it’s hard for me to choose Nolan’s best film but that’s a sign of a brilliant filmmaker
I would say to much cgi, but interstellar and birdman kind of shoot that in the foot.
@@Deanhughes5707 Nah the last third of the movie is awful
Amazingly crafted recompilation, you definitely chose the most visually stunning sequences of these movies. And yes, Citizen Kane’s cinematography is a monument and should have won for B/W in 1941. This year I was for Roma because of its amazing, visually immersive shots, though Cold War and The Favourite were also very strong.
Thank you for this amazing Video! It was so inspiring...i want to become a director myself and you really picked amazing Pictures.
Most of these were fully deserving, but the fact that Greg Toland did not win in 1941 for Citizen Kane is proof that this world is not a just place.
I'm honestly shocked that that movie won any Oscars that year.
"The Grapes of Wrath" is another film he should have won for.
Congratulations!!!. Such a beautiful video.
Beautifully shot movies I've seen so far:
Gone with the Wind, Phantom of the Opera (1943), On the Waterfront, The Bridge on the River Kwai, The DIary of Anne Frank, Ben-Hur, West Side Story, Lawrence of Arabia, Bonnie & Clyde, Romeo & Juliet (1968), Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Gandhi, Glory, Dances with Wolves, Schindler's List, Titanic, Saving Private Ryan, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Road to Perdition, The Aviator, Pan's Labyrinth, There Will Be Blood, Slumdog Millionaire, Avatar, Inception, Hugo, Life of Pi, Gravity, Birdman, The Revenant, La La Land, Blade Runner 2049, and A Star Is Born.

2020: The Lighthouse
Or 1917
My Ass
TeutonicKnight1190 1917 for sure
1917 in the bag but I agree with The Lighthouse, that movie was stunning
Should: The Lighthouse
Will: 1917
Excellent video!
Thanks for watching!
A LOT of great movies there.
Roma is going to win this year for Best Cinematography for sure.
What a fantastic video you edited... i think in this year, the oscar goes to this video..ㅅ_ㅅ
Man the academy sure took it's time to give roger deakins an oscar .
Best Original Score or Best Original Song please
We'd love to do those, but they'd never get past Content ID...
@@BurgerFiction Then do Production design and Costume design :D
Well, 75% would be John Williams.
@@HAL-xo2fj I wish... he's only won five times, out of 51 nominations.
@@HAL-xo2fj but... It SHOULD be Hans Zimmer
This music is what got me going! So Awesome!
You cannot juge that every oscar winning cinematography are the EVERY BEST.
Almost a century of beautiful pictures
This year: Parasite.
I hope so
also coming for that best picture trophy and best actor and director nominations !!!!!!
My bet is 1917, but Parasite would be great
The Lighthouse
It's 1917's to lose, but I would adore it if Parasite won!
Maybe give the names of the cinematographers next time?
Excellent work
4:48 It takes a master editor to pull this off.
If I am ever low on ideas for what kind of landscape to depict in visual arts this is ssssooo a 'go to' video
A lot of the time great cinematography is an indication of a great film.
this is so satisfying to watch
BEAUTIFULLY Done! 👍👍👍
8:40 is my favourite shot in any movie ever
Matthew Libatique’s work in A Star Is Born was incredible. I hope he wins it
Tree of Life should've won in 2011
100% agree. That clip from Hugo looked like it belonged in a commercial for a credit card or something. So fake.

the lighthouse really needs to win this year
3:12 I'm sorry, but that edit was too smooth 👍
this video is awesome
I like this a lot I would like to see some other categories featured like Best Original song and Best Animated Short.
Honestly I have a feeling Two Towers really should be on there, I haven't seen the Aviator, but I'm pretty sure Return Of The King as well
Return of the King came out a year before Aviator.
Such beautiful images from such great films.
Haven't seen Never Look Away yet, but I love all the other nominees' cinematography. My Ranking is:
1) The Favourite
2) Roma
3) A Star Is Born (my favorite movie of 2018)
4) Cold War
I'm betting on the Favourite for Best PRoduction Design, Costume Design, Cinematography, actress and original Screenplay
Robbed in 1958: "Vertigo"
Agreed
I dont need my favourite movies get the Best Picture. They make it in this list, that's enough proud for me. Btw, the music is awesome.

ALPHA (2018) is my favorite this season.
Although I think Roma is highly deserving, I prefer the cinematography of The Favourite. A lot of that may be due to the production design though.
The costumes, production design and cinematography worked BEAUTIFULLY together. They each complimented each other brilliantly. I do hope Roma wins though, it would be the first time since Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf a black and white movie won.

Congratulations to Roma 🙌
Please please please....... make an 'Every Best Original Score Winner. Ever' :)
I wish they could, but they would be copyrighted so fast, it would never get past UA-cam's standards.
That Titanic shot is beautiful
Además del título y año de la película es imprescindible destacar el nombre del director de fotografía.
This reminds me that The Fellowship of the Ring won it but The Return of the King is not even nominated.
