Thanks for the links. And thanks again, Cutter, for posting this in the first place. I was there last night thanks to you. Deakins' comments about Melville being closer to neorealism than to film noir gave me something new to think about and appreciate. Good stuff. Thanks for the links.

Have you heard/read anything about Anderson's POV on this? If so can you point me in that direction? Thanks! That’s an interesting tidbit, Cutter.

And, yes, the double nomination, unfortunately, cancelled him out come voting time. Deakins is phenomenal, reminds me of the work of the great Nestor Almendros.

All of the movies photography was brilliant and worked, but No Country had a stunning range of visuals going on (vs. TWBB's mostly one note feel for the entire film). But all the more reason to go and see Deakins talk. I have to agree with P on this.

Did you even see Assassination of Jesse James (one of the most breathtakingly gorgeous films) or No Country? In a well-projected theatre? How can you say he lost "deservedly so" based on someone else's opinion? Deakins split his own votes, which was predicted by about anyone who knows anything. The Oscars are a joke, and even Elswit, as great as he is, acknowledged that in the press room. In my opinion, Jesse James and No Country were far more interesting looking than TWBB (and I have seen them all multiple times). Wait, so you have not seen TWBB?
