Jamie Lee Curtis and George Hamilton presenting Vittorio Storaro the Oscar® for Cinematography for "Apocalypse Now" at the 52nd Academy Awards® in 1980. Hosted by Johnny Carson.
Apocalypse Now should've won all the big awards that year, Kramer vs. Kramer may have been good in it's time but I don't think it's aged very well while Apocalypse Now is a bonafide masterpiece.
yeah i can't believe it only one two awards i think it didnt win best picture because The Deer Hunter had won the year before and they didnt want to give best picture to a Vietnam war movie two years in a row
Philip Moore That's true but but Vietnam is more of the setting of Apocalypse Now and I never really look at it as your prototypical "war movie." Even Deer Hunter is more of a drama about the effect of war and there aren't many combat scenes. I love and own both films but to me AN is clearly better.
Philip Moore There are combat scenes but not many, the films don't revolve around the combat. To me AN goes deeper than a traditional war film, but we're splitting hairs here, they're both great films.
Vittorio Stararo (Apocolypse Now) and Freddie Young (Laurence of Arabia) are the top cinematographers in the industry. And they did it without CGI. True artists.
@@zeshanalisheikh8191 In fact, he did a damn good job shooting Blade Runner and hiring both Steven Poster & Brian Tufano to finish the rest of the entire work as additional cinematographers. In 1987, he was Oscar nominated for shooting Peggy Sue Got Married, produced by Ray Stark, Paul R. Gurian, Fred Roos and Gray Frederickson for Sony Pictures, StudioCanal, Gurian Entertainment and American Zoetrope. He retired from the industry on September 29, 1994 and died in 1997 and was survived by his second wife, Shane (since Fall 1977) and their children.
You are right Winduct. I loved the cinematography in Life of Pi. It was the only film I saw that was worthy of praise last year. Thanks for reminding me.
This clip had scenes from the film, as is the case for the presentation of categories, but because of copyright issues, the clip had to be edited. Navid
He’s body language for me gives away a man who is beaten by the experience of making such a picture. I say this after just finishing watching Heart of Darkness. He says Thanks to the director & I can see why.
Because he was disqualified, that's why. But it was not his fault, it was theirs. It took five years later, when he and Nick McLean were first timers have received their Oscar nominations for best cinematography for The Right Stuff in 1984. A year later, he went solo and earned five Oscar nominations for The Natural in 1985, Fly Away Home in 1997, The Patriot in 2001, The Passion of the Christ in 2005 and Never Look Away in 2019. In addition to his six Oscar nominations, Caleb Deschanel has done such additional photography work on both Academy Award winning films: Apocalypse Now in 1980 and Titanic in 1998 at one legendary Hollywood studio: Paramount/Viacom.
