Not shocking. Dunkirk's frames themselves aren't pictorially pristine. It's the actual opposite of the "One Perfect Shot" mentality of cinematography, unlike the lyrical imagery of Shape of Water or Blade Runner 2049.

It'll get nominated, but the win will depend on good-will towards Dunkirk overall and right now it's all over the map.

The race could be between Lady Bird, Dunkirk, and The Post. Or none of the above. It's the widest race in YEARS.

Sanchez wrote:Also, Vader, could you elaborate on this part: I'd love to hear more about this. And btw, wouldn't the final product of the shots in those movies require more from people like the production designers, than in the case of Dunkirk (where Hoyte carries around an IMAX camera on his shoulders for example)? If that makes sense..

My point is, I do understand that 2049 and Shape of Water might look more visual pleasing to the viewers, but that it's thanks to a lot more people than only the DP, and therefore the DP that (might) have had a lot more to do with the final outcome himself, is the more deserving winner.

Many of Dunkirk's images are designed with the camera locked onto the side of boats or planes and half the image has a huge plane blocking the complete field of view, or they're super-close ups of Tom Hardy, or off-kilter shots of Rylance. Those aren't shots most people would think to hang to the walls of their study. Those images largely work for their experiential or impressionistic value rather than pure aestheticism. While folks like Deakins harp on this all the time, the film community can forget great cinematography is about motivated style, serving the mood and feeling of the story rather than creating "One Perfect Shot" style images. It's obvious to say, but nevertheless needs saying more often than I'd think.

Which is why I'm not above bothering fans of The Revenant and remarking it has "terrible cinematography." Not because the images aren't aesthetically extraordinary--they are of course--but because for me and many other people (as noted by press, etc) Chivo and Inarritu's visual design doesn't unite the story and style, it divides them. They don't grasp the motivated style of when Malick and Tarkovsky succesfully employ that level of intellectualized formalism. Nolan takes the totally opposite approach, where each frame is only about the audience, only about the story, regardless of how pictorially "perfect" any particular image is.

And that's why I won't be shocked if Dunkirk doesn't get awards attention for cinematography unless it's already winning big stuff.

What the hell happened? I'm trying to find some of my old posts myself.
