The battle between Roger Deakins and Claudio Miranda continues with another split decision leading up to the Oscars. Deakins has struggled for years to find a film that would net him an Oscar and he might have finally found one. The problem is the vast color palette of Life of Pi tempts members to vote for it even if the cinematography is largely crafted through visual effects. Deakins is a favorite with the ASC, so his win doesn’t mean an Oscar is guaranteed, but it might help this time out.

I really hope Deakins wins the Oscar, he’s one of the best cinematographers out there, and he’s got like 10 oscar nominations and hasn’t won.

But I think the academy is gonna give it to Life of Pi, like last year, when they gave it to Hugo instead of the amazing The Tree of Life.
