Oscar Winner Predictions: Best Cinematography

The competition: The Grandmaster (Philippe Le Sourd), Gravity (Emmanuel Lubezki), Inside Llewyn Devis (Bruno Delbonnel), Nebraska (Phedon Papamichael), Prisoners (Roger Deakins)

Previous winners: Life of Pi, Hugo, Inception, Avatar, Slumdog Millionaire, There Will Be Blood
My winner: Rush
The facts: Le Sourd and Papamichael are new to this race. Deakins has ten previous nominations, Lubezki has five, and Delbonnel has three. None of them has ever won.

Who should win: “Gravity”
Who will win: Unless this is a way to honor “Inside Llewyn Davis” or “Prisoners,” I think Gravity takes it.
