I guess the Spotlight nominations keeps them from another Neptune's curse, but it seemed like The Lighthouse had a wide enough release. Hopefully it pulls an Ida and goes from Spotlight winner to Oscar nominee.

FvF bit of a surprise. That and Joker are the ones that might be unseated by Parasite or Lighthouse, right? (Hope so)

People need to stop falling for Film Twitter propaganda. Industry will always go for films that are actually seen. This is not the case for The Lighthouse and I really doubt that the smaller branch will nominate it over the likes of Sher, Richardson, Deak and Phedon Pappamichel

A film even people on here didn’t know existed. Of all the branches they care least about box office. |

Not on the Oscar race as a whole but the Cinematography category. Either way, I don't see it missing over something like Parasite even. The latter has been watched by all of the guilds given its impressive run so far. Yet it didn't make it here, don't see it making the Oscars either |

All that matters is Deakins is winning his second Oscar.

People here need to get out of the Film Twitter/Letterboxd bubble, the industry doesn't care about The Lighthouse and critics have not pushed it hard enough to force the issue (aside from the odd Dafoe or Cinematography win, there's been nothing for it and it's done poorly on Critics Top 10 lists relative to its Letterboxd/Film Twitter hype). It'll probably just be these 5 at the Oscars unless Parasite bumps something.

It'll probably just be these 5 at the Oscars unless Parasite bumps something. I really do understand what you mean and even somewhat agree with it - after all, A24 psycho-horror stuff isn't really the Academy's cup of tea. But what inspires at least some hope about The Lighthouse here for me is the achievement itself - the thing is so damn flashy with its vintage lenses, B&W, aspect ratio, carefully selected compositions and meticulously crafted shots. It's a movie that is so highly notable for its visuals that I think it might end up having some support. I am predicting the ASC five at the moment though. And I really think that the Parasite confidence in this category is something that people are also trying to will into happening but which won't come true. |

It'll probably just be these 5 at the Oscars unless Parasite bumps something. The Lighthouse is one of the most visually distinctive & showy projects of the year that was aggressively marketed and in an otherwise incredibly weak field I don't see it missing. The cinematographers branch often highlights lesser-seen more artsy picks, more so than any other branch. The only give-ins in this lineup are Deakins, Richardson and a really boring and safe Prieto, but the critics haven't shown up for Papamichael or Sher basically at all whereas The Lighthouse has gotten cinematography mentions at practically all of them. Ford v Ferrari especially feels like the kind of safe guild pick that ultimately misses to something more distinctive at the Oscars, for example Blaschke or Mathon. |

It's a good line-up.
