That will be Bruno Delbonnel. He worked on the wonderful French films Amelie, and A Very Long Engagement also.I'd rather see the guy who is nominated for his work on the cinematography for Inglorious Basterds win, some of the shots and so on in IG were absolutely sublime.
It's an absolute disgrace that the Road wasn't nominated for best cinematography. It's the only thing about the film that was truly astounding and far better and more memorable than anything else i've seen this year.
In fact I don't think it got a single nomination for anything.

My pics:

Actor in Leading Role:
Morgan Freeman: Invictus.
Actor in Supporting Role.

ADAPTED SCREENPLAY:
District 9
ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY:
Dang...hard to say. IG on this one over Up.

No idea. Haven't seen any of them.
ANIMATED FEATURE FILM:
Up
BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY:
Avatar and what the hell is Harry Potter doing here?
FILM EDITING:
Definitely IG. It was genius editing.
It's an absolute disgrace that the Road wasn't nominated for best cinematography. It's the only thing about the film that was truly astounding and far better and more memorable than anything else i've seen this year.
I've yet to see The Road, so can't comment on the cinematography. Still must see it!!
She was also in a well received episode of Dr Who, and that's one reason people think she will win the BAFTA award for rising star, all the Doctor Who fans voting for her. Ah but she is up against Twilight woman too.
Yet to see An Education, is she worthy of an Oscar Jaden compared to the others in the nominations?

Hmmm...I haven't seen any of the other performances in best actress in a leading role so I can't say. I personally didn't really like the film but I could appreciate her acting was decent. Some of her tantrums in the film seemed a bit unconvincing though.
