My ejaculate just turned purple with awesome.

Gorgeous colours, but awful cartoon-y for something that's supposed to be photo-realistic.

THE MAIN AWARDS TO COME...

[Grouchy]

AND THE WINNER IS:

Link is not working for me here.

[soitgoes...]

Pretty, but The White Ribbon has the best cinematography of the decade.

Hurt Locker

[baby doll]

Pretty, but The White Ribbon has the best cinematography of the decade.As much as I love the film, that seems like a bit of an overstatement. I'd probably vote for Les Amants réguliers (William Lubtchansky).

[ledfloyd]

giachinno got robbed. also, i would never vote a tarantino film for best editing.

[Mysterious Dude]

Bright Star not winning 'best costume design' is crazy. Can we at least agree on 'best hats'?

i think the wild things costumes are better.

[Mysterious Dude]

i think the wild things costumes are better.
They seemed more like puppets than costumes, to me.

Anyway, what about the hats?

[ledfloyd]

THANK YOU ALL FOR VOTING. Sorry for the lackluster results.

[NickGlass]

As someone who didn't complete their nominee ballot, I feel a bit hypocritical saying this, but it's true: the awards (nominations and winners) felts very, very lazy this year.

[ledfloyd]

tilda got robbed.

[Adam]

Vinessa Shaw was ten times foxier than Paltrow in that movie and Melanie Laurent was totally into Daniel Bruhl

[origami_mustache]

Pretty, but The White Ribbon has the best cinematography of the decade.

Pretty sure this goes to a Christopher Dolye/ WKW collaboration.

[soitgoes...]

Pretty sure this goes to a Christopher Dolye/ WKW collaboration.
Yes, I see what you and baby doll are saying. You're alluding to a film made 10 years ago, and baby doll to one made 5 years ago. The thing is that I've seen a lot of films last year, and I'm pretty confident in saying that Haneke's film is in a league of its own. I shouldn't have put the decade comment as that obviously sidetracked the conversation from the actual point I was trying to make.

I personally think The White Ribbon is in one of the best films of the decade overall, and there were some great compositions, but I don't like the "modern" black and white look they went for. Haneke intentionally discouraged the cinematographer from making it look like nostalgic "old" black and white films which is fine and I understand why he would want to do it, but I just don't find it as aesthetically appealing.

[Fezzik]

Pretty sure this goes to a Christopher Dolye/ WKW collaboration.

Rep. I'd agree completely. In both WKW/Doyle collaborations I've seen, the cinematography has just floored me.

[Mysterious Dude]

I think I find the nominating process more fun than the results.

[Adam]

Off the top of my head, favorite cinematography from the aughts probably has to go to either The New World or maybe Tropical Malady. In the Mood for Love is right there, too

And just in terms of 2009, yeah The White Ribbon is great, but we outright snubbed the hands-down tops of the tops in Antichrist

[Spinal]

Yeah, the cinematography in Antichrist is stunning.

[Watashi]

Assassination of Jesse James has the best cinematography of the naughts.
