Cinematography
|
|
1. War Horse Janusz Kaminski Watch the trailer. How could it not get nominated? |
|
|
2. The Tree of Life Emmanuel Lubezki I’m doubtful about its chances for Picture or Director, but this seems like a category that this film will get some love in. |
|
|
3. Hugo Robert Richardson The visual scope on this film is quite impressive, and it’s clearly very carefully shot. This film will probably do very well in the technical categories. |
|
|
4. The Artist Guillame Shiffman It’s probably going to get nominated for everything else, so why not this? |
|
|
5. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 Eduardo Serra It’s the last year for this franchise to get nom’d. I don’t think the Academy will go nuts, but I could see it getting in here. |
Other Possibilities: Moneyball, Tinker Tailor Solider Spy, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Drive, Jane Eyre
Art Direction
|
|
1. Hugo Dante Ferretti Well, it certainly looks pretty. |
|
|
2. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 Stuart Craig The franchise often gets nominated in this category, so and I wouldn’t be surprised if this one finally ends up winning. |
|
|
3. The Artist Laurence Bennett The silent film era is full of rich visuals. This film is bound to do well in a lot of other categories, so why not here, too? |
|
|
4. War Horse Rick Carter Looks like your typically stunning period epic. Seems like a sure-fire bet in many technical categories. |
|
|
5. Captain America: The First Avenger Rick Heinrichs The retro stylings of the film are very nice to look at, and Heinrichs has three noms under his belt (he won for Sleepy Hollow). |
Other Possibilities: Water For Elephants, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Midnight in Paris, Jane Eyre
Times Like Those 
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo as a possibility for art direction too, no? Does it *have* to period and/or fantasy?
