Your thoughts? Right now I have:
1. Silence (only real lock as of now)
2. La La Land
3. Arrival
4. Live By Night
5. Jackie
——————————
6. Billy Lynn
7. Hail, Caesar
8. Rules Don’t Apply
9. Passengers
10. Nocturnal Animals
November 7, 2016 at 6:59 pm #1201946718My prefix:
1) La La Land (since people have seen it this seems the only real lock at this point)
ReplyCopy URL
2) Silence
3) Arrival
4) Jackie
5) MoonlightNovember 7, 2016 at 9:52 pm #1201946759Silence, La La Land and Arrival are probably “for sures” as of right now. I still think Billy Lynn has a shot despite it’s negative reception and I think Live by Night has a shot because it’s Robert Richardson.

November 8, 2016 at 1:59 am #1201946817Since the turn of the century, only 2 Best Picture winners have won Cinematography – Slumdog Millionaire and Birdman.
For the first four years of this decade, the award went to the film which had the big technical sweep – Inception, Hugo, Life of Pi and Gravity.
Putting into perspective the kind of film which may end up winning?
The main contenders:
La La Land – the front runnerJackie – seen contender, strong bet
Arrival – seen contender, strong betMoonlight – seen contender, if the film is loved by the Academy, they can’t not vote for it here
Nocturnal Animals – seem contender, mildly in the mix, and is visually stunningSilence – unseen, but hard to imagine it not having great cinematography
Live By Night – unseen, but the trailer looked gorgeously richBilly Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk – seen, is down but not out.
Passengers – unseen, and could surpriseHail, Caesar – will strongly test the admiration of Deakins by this branch. The cinematography is not memorable, and not on par with the likes of Sicario, Skyfall and Prisoners in recent years.

ReplyCopy URLNovember 8, 2016 at 10:05 am #1201946937This is quite a competitive category but they are still very insular. So with that in mind, I have predicted:
La La Land (Linus Sandgren 0 Oscar nom)
ReplyCopy URL
Arrival (Bradford Young 0 Oscar nom)
Silence (Rodrigo Prieto 1 Oscar Nom)
Live By Night (Robert Richardson 3 Oscars wins, 9 Oscar noms)
Hail Caesar (Roger Deakins 13 Oscar noms)November 8, 2016 at 11:05 am #1201946977There is already an older thread discussing best cinematography, so it may be good to combine these predictions there:

Yes, but it’s not like he automatically gets nominated for everything he does.
