First of all, thanks to everyone who has voted. Though I must admit that it must be the first time ever that I received less ballots in the second round than in the first (32 ballots in total vs., I think 37 or 38 for the nominations). I guess there just is not much excitement going around for the films of 2014.

Next up to get things a little more interesting, right out of the gate is Best Cinematography.

David, the stage is yours.

Fine pick. I picked Coon, but any of the five would've been a solid choice. Strong category.

Best cinematography

Image

In Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance), director of photography Emmanuel Lubezki, in tandem with the film's editorial team, creates an illusion of the story unfolding in a single shot. His ever-moving camera glides over and zooms through a Broadway theatre and the nearby city streets, folding time and space in on themselves while intensifying the sense of nervous anticipation and claustrophobia experienced by the characters as production mishaps mount.

Image

In Gone Girl, director of photography Jeff Cronenweth casts a foreboding shadow over a pleasant Midwestern suburb, using a color palette ranging from blue and grey to yellow to turn artificial, bright, and presumably safe surfaces into veils behind which suspicion expands and violence threatens to erupt.

Image

In The Grand Budapest Hotel, director of photography Robert Yeoman helps director Wes Anderson achieve his exacting snow-globe vision in a way more colorful and epicurean than ever before. He also employs shifting aspect ratios to enhance the film's nesting-doll-style intertwining of various timelines, turning the very shape of the frame into an active tool for storytelling.

Image

In Interstellar, director of photography Hoyte van Hoytema's camera journeys with sweeping brio from pastoral scenes of American farmland to the perilous, tsunami-swept, ice-encased surfaces of previously unexplored planets. The cinematographer also never loses sight of the human characters (so small, so resilient) amidst the earthly and celestial grandeur.

Image

In Under the Skin, director of photography Daniel Landin infuses urban and rural scenes from contemporary Scotland with a quality both menacing and wondrous to reveal the rhythms and textures of our world through the captivated eyes of an alien disguised as a beautiful human woman. He renders the recognizable strange and sublime.

And the award for best cinematography goes to:

Another strong category. I picked Interstellar, but I think GBH has it.

:towel:

I'm surprised Birdman was second. I would've had that pegged at number four.

Interstellar
Grand Budapest Hotel
Gone Girl
Birdman
Under the Skin

Then again, Gone Girl looks like a typical Fincher film so maybe that knocked it even lower.

Budapest Hotel is probably winning but go Obvious Child.
