Well, folks, this is it! Our last (but technically first) winner "Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans" strikes gold with an amazing score of 98 and nicely rounds up the Top 5.
According to us, the very best Oscar-winning achievements in cinematography are "Lawrence of Arabia", "Apocalypse Now" and, quite interestingly, "Blade Runner 2049", sharing a score of 99. No film was able to hit the cherished perfect 100 but the closest one was "Lawrence of Arabia".
I'd like to thank everyone who took part in this admittedly weird poll - I know rating movies is something we're used to but rating stuff like cinematography is pretty bizzare
And yet, I thought it was incredibly fun to go through all the winners in this category. So here it is, the definitive Movie Awards Redux ranking of the Best Cinematography winners:
