12 Days of Oscar: Day 6 - Cinematography

The painters.  Film is, first and foremost, a visual medium.

CINEMATOGRAPHY NOMINEES

1) Anna Karenina - Seamus McGarvey

2) Django Unchained - Robert Richardson

3) Life of Pi - Claudio Miranda

4) Lincoln - Janusz Kaminski

5) Skyfall - Roger Deakins

Each picture contains beautiful cinematography unique to its genre.  Two of these films were unique and breathtaking.  Anna Karenina was a marvel of artistic transition and stylized movement between stage and location.  Life of Pi is a sea epic which differs from its predecessors by by being colorful and contemplative even among the tempest.

My Favorite - Anna Karenina

My Oscar prediction - Life of Pi
