Although "Skyfall»Has always been there, receiving a multitude of awards from critics of less weight. The British film recently received the Cinematographers Guild Award, which suggests that it could be the winner of the statuette.
In addition, you have to count on the fact that the academy might want to reward the cinematographer of "Skyfall" Roger Deakins, who has been defeated in this category up to ten times.
The other three candidate films have not been awarded in the entire race, although it would not be surprising if they could also win the award. To win the award «D«, His photographer Robert Richardson would get his third statuette, the last one won last year for« The Invention of Hugo ».
Janusz Kaminski director of photography of «Lincoln“Steven Spielberg regular, will fight for his third Oscar.
More difficult is the tape by Joe Wright «Anna Karenina«, Although anything can happen in a category that left Emmanuelle Lubezki without a prize last year for« The Tree of Life ».
