El Guild of Cinematographers has announced the nominees for his award, which seems to be the great favorite «Gravity«, After having won the majority of critical awards.
The other favorites for the Oscar for best photography are also not lacking among the candidates «Twelve Years a Slave" is "Inside Llewyn Davis«.
The presence of the Hong Kong representative for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is surprising «The Grandmaster«. They complete the group of seven nominees «Captain Phillips","Prisoners" Y "Nebraska«.
Finally they did not get the nomination films that it was presumed that if they would do it as «Here»Or«Rush«, Which is why the Oscar nomination in this category is quite uphill, since everything indicates that the nominees for the golden statuette will come out of these seven candidates for the guild award.
It must be said that in the face of the Oscar it is not so important to win this award since only 10 of the 27 winning films have later repeated their award at the Oscars.
What does seem to be important is being nominated since, with the exception of two occasions in 1987 when the statuette was won by "Glory" and in 2006 when "Pan's Labyrinth" did, all the Oscar-winning films best photography were nominees for the Cinematographer's Guild Award.
