Academy Conversations: Blade Runner 2049 

that's absolutely delusional

Logan and Apes hace nothing on Blade Runner as a whole.

its visually a beautiful movie as well.

Kyle, Logan & WFTPOFA is nothing compared to Blade Runner 2049.

Kyle Campbell I loved Logan & War for Apes too...but the Academy is never going to nominate a comic book film, or a summer blockbuster. Blade Runner has a shot cause its an October released scifi drama.

I simply cannot even think of any other movie that even come close to Deakins cinematography this year. The best competition is Dunkirk which had fantastic visuals. BUt holy damn, Blade Runner 2049 is like one of the best shot movies of all time. And maybe Deakins finest work, that is saying something.

FabledSomething I think Phantom Thread will also be nominated. PTA's film always capture beautiful cinematography ( of course, Roger should win this time ^^)

Well i haven't seen that much of phantom thread except the clips in the trailer. And its Paul T Anderson himself that has done the cinematography in that film, if he has what it takes to be up there among the top in the business, is yet to be discovered. Anderson usually uses top cinematographers in his film, this is the first time he does it himself. So tbh. No he does not even stand a chance against Deakins, that would be unheard of tbh. I'm not even sure he will be nominated, even that would be a big surprise.

FabledSomething You're right buddy, It's time for the master of cinematography to win the prize

Yeah i simply cannot see how anyone can beat him tbh. If we go back to 2007, when Deakins did No Country for Old men, i thought the cinematography was absolutely outstanding as always. But then i saw There will be blood, and i just knew it would win. That year Deakins was not the best, that is for sure, but he was close. But with Blade Runner... What can i say?. The images are spectacular. The different contrasts and colors, the flow of water with those lights, and all the other different light settings, the constant change in dark and light environments. Just wow! As Deakins said himself, it is the most challenging job he has ever done. Because of all the different settings that don't look like one another at all. And Villeneuve also stated in an interview that he thinks this is maybe the best looking film Deakins has ever shot. It just looks spectacular you know, it's rare that you get such beauty as this, very rare. I simply cannot see how Dunkirk can beat it, which is maybe the only film that truly competes. Deakins is just in a league of his own this year, he knocked it out of the park. And this time he not only deserves to win, he needs to win, 13 nominations this guy has, it's about time :D

Chris E FLores very

Chris E FLores BR 2049 is the GREATEST film I've ever seen, bar none. ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE.

@Last Ronin No, it's just his/her opinion and you're just another movie snob. That's all

There are a lot of movies this year that also deserves a ton of Oscars There is Logan, War for the Planet of the Apes, IT, Dunkirk

Very great year for Genre-movies. Let's hope the Academy recognizes it!

IT LOL

Rayza NC maybe Make Up & Hairstyling

Griffin Dumeer lots of shit films get these videos doesn’t mean much

Recognition >>>> Money

no

Lmao

Joshua Westover Ryan Gosling as well imo.

Joshua Westover Cinematography and Production Design is a safe win I think. But the rest of the list is also realistic.

Joshua Westover Supporting actress for Ana De Armas and Best Actor for Ryan Gosling

Kai Graw to me cinematography production dissige direcott screenplay actor score and best picture are very safe win

Joshua Westover Sound Mixing and Director, I think "Dunkirk" deserves more. But if this loses Cinematography, that's gonna be worse than when "The Tree of Life" lost.

bread_n_butter it’s even better than Fury Road.

Don't forget The Revenant.

The Revenant was amazing indeed

In certain ways.

bread_n_butter and dunkirk

I think you mean "magnum opus". Word "opus" simply means "work".

TheMovieGuy i think i will win best picture and director and other award at the oscars and golden globe awards

Ian too early to tell. Phantom Thread releases in December.

Usually I don't support such bold statements lightheartedly. But out of the movies of this year, I can't think of another that is as worthy of that award. At least best original screenplay, best director and best cinematography are strong entries to the race. Of course the technical categories. Considering how bad it did at the box-office, I wish the producers the best picture award. They need some recognition for their decision to make this movie.

Sorry, I don't think the Academy deserves to nominate this film.

Frank Castle so they did

Alonso Rojas favorite movie of the decade for me

Alonso Rojas My favourite film of all time.

Not everything There are a lot of movies this year that also deserves some awards

Outstanding film, enjoyed it immensely....

G0RMAN LEE if Arrival was nominated, I have no doubt this will, but the competition this year seems heavier than last year

Suicide Squad won best Makeup...which I guess came from Killer Croc, but Blade Runner 2049 could easily take Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Sound, Best Production Design, Best SFX, and Best Makeup.

a sci-fi pic has eventually to win and i think the chances were never bigger than with blade runner 2049

Just pray that Roger Deakins wins the Oscar this time! (I have a feeling he will)

G0RMAN LEE pleases pray I pray to win best picture direcott screenplay actor

Kyle Campbell ana de armas gogling score and dennis too

But mostly Mr. Deakins The movie was basically made for him

I think he did with No Country For old Men

Aaaand the Oscar goes to Roger Deakins

Most of all, CINEMATOGRAPHY

Don't worry, it will win Best Cinematography.

I have absolutely the same feeling. But I have an excuse, I watched 2049 for the first time on my phone :) But now as I finally rewatched it i was completely mesmerized! At first I thought that OG Bladerunner was better by miles, but now I don't think that gap is that big and who knows what I will think when watch this again.... Both films are exceptional. What a work from directors and their crews.

No big. The 1982 one did too.

I just watched it last week for the first time and would rent out a theater to watch it again. Epic

Tyler Lyons I thought I am the only one who sense the great influence by Kubrick’s works

@@kuroryuzaki28 Denis' movies are always reminiscent and heavily influenced by Kubrick's subtlety, he's one of the few filmmakers who still have that kind of subtlety in today's cinema

Yes same for Dune

@@dariussalepetru6770 At least Denis got the Best Picture and Best Adaptated Screenplay nominations.

It should also get nominated for Best Score.

Best Actor, Supporting Actor and Actress.

The ones you predicted would win were the only ones that were nominated. lol

Han Yolo I hope he casts Jake Gyllenhaal again.

Dwight Schrute it did get nominated

Brian Boru if you have to reduce a film to get through it better than you have failed the film. 2hr and 40 and something minutes is not that long

JCORR76 neither, the miracle is their child
