this is probably one of the greatest years in this category ever. Any movie would have been a deserving winner

It is an absolute shame that Roger Deakins has not won yet, but you have to admit here that Elswit's cinematography in There Will Be Blood is one of the most greatest cinematic achievements of the 21st Century.

There will be Blood's cinematography was indeed an achievement, but Roger Deakin's work in The Assassination of Jesse James was so evocative and magnificent that it really should have won

That's still quite debatable. TWBB's cinematography was impressive, but you can pause at any moment during The Assassination and behold a beautiful painting. Beside, TWBB probably only won because the still-Oscarless Deakins split between No Country and The Assassination. The combined effort of Deakins is undeniable that year. And he still doesn't have an Oscar.

Oh, and Atonement pulled off a five minute tracking shot on a war-ravaged beach. God, this was a tough year.

As great as the cinematography in There Will Be Blood was, I have a feeling Deakins lost because his votes were split between Jesse James and No Country For Old Men. Hope he'll win soon.

I know!!! Of all the new releases of the past year, prisoners is by far my favourite. Every element of that film worked perfectly, but the academy doesn't care if it's not political or surrounded by ridiculous hype. I am astonished that prisoners was snubbed when the very unimpressive and overrated american hustle was nominated for 10 awards.

What a year of wonderful cinematography, zodiac was awesome too

Zodiac didn't even get a nom, it had amazing cinematography in my opinion. Jesus this year had a stacked category

I think Elswit won simply because of the scene where the oil derrick erupts, it's an amazing scene.

Assassination of Jessie James is the most Beautifully shot film of all time.

Before "Gravity"'s win, this was the last time I genuinely agreed with the Oscar's Cinematography winner. 2008 - "The Dark Knight" 2009 - "Inglourious Basterds" 2010 - "True Grit" 2011 - "The Tree of Life" 2012 - "The Master" (wasn't even nominated)

What's so great about The Dark Knight's cinematography?

Roger always has a really tight competition every time he's nominated. Everyone deserved their nomination because all five films were absolutely stunning and meotional!

I love There will be blood and it's my favourite movie of the 21st century. I also think the cinematography is absolutely stellar but sorry Roger Deakins should have won this one for The assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford. It's THE best cinematographic achievement of the 21st century. Absolutely unmatched. Just rewatch it if you don't believe me. There will be blood should have won Best film, Best director, Best actor, Best actor in a second role. Best cinematography should have gone to the GOAT Roger Deakins.

Most underrated win ever!

Can I just say that this year was a great year for cinema. A lot of movies that came out was so good.

Daniel Day-Lewis won an Oscar for his role as an ambitious oilman in this Paul Thomas Anderson epic.

Curious cuts during the speech - I wonder if the TV crew was temporarily confused about which Paul (Thomas Anderson/Dano) Robert Elswit was referring to :D

And Roger Deakins thinking: "Damn! I lost again!" Thank God the Academy already corrected this given him two well deserved Oscars.

As much as I love 'There Will Be Blood', this should have gone to 'The Diving Bell and Butterfly'

TWBB had a great cinematography

Di Caprio wasn't snubbed, his performances weren't the best in any of the years he was nominated - including, i would argue, his win for "The Revenant." He won at 41 years of age, 4 nominations prior (vs Deakins' 13). He wasn't snubbed.

@@heisen-bones we're talking about acting as far as I am concern. And while we're at it I think I liked Tom Hardy much more than Leo. You know just eating raw meat and sleeping in animal carcass don't contribute to great acting. The dedication is nice but It don't moves me as much as Michael Fassebender Steve Jobs. In the end I think a good performance is one which makes you feel something and I don't think Leo's performance was of that stature between nominees of that year. He should have gotten the Oscar for The Wolf of Wall Street. Much better than his grunting and mumbling performance in The Revenant.

Should have gone to Atonement; amazingly beautifully shot film.

There Will Be Blood has great cinematography.

When I first watched, I expected it to have continuous uninterrupted shots like the other movies by Anderson

Thought last year was his year. Though he does have numerous ASC awards which hold more merit. IMO the results of the ASC awards should always be replicated at the oscars.

poor deakins

Roger Deakind deserved other nomination for In the Valley of Elah. Robert Elswit did a great work in Michael Clayton, too.

Don't forget about Seamus McGarvey for his work on Atonment

Literaly any of these couldve won and nobody wouldve complained. I'd always go with jesse james.

The year of 2007 belonged to Deakins

How is Daniel Day Lewis not there when he accepted his Oscar that evening? Who is that sitting next to his wife at 2:59. Is that a seat filler?

Roger Deakins In no country made the greatest camera work of all time in my opinion.

How is cinematography overall considered to win? What are the criteria’s they go with? Except picturesque looking frames and camera movements ..😅

Kinda wished Seamus would have won, but Elswit did a great job also.

Assasination should’ve won

Although “there will be blood” has a memorable scene which every person who watched it will be always embraced by it, but I have to admit that the prize for greatest cinematography of that year should have gone to Roger Deakins for “The Assassination of Jesse James by coward Robert Ford”.This film transcends every movie which have won the award for cinematography in the 2000s.
