AFT Awards: Best Cinematography

This is the seventh category of the 11th Annual AFT Film Awards to be announced. The AFT Awards are my own personal choices for the best in film of each year and the best in television of each season. The AFT Film Awards include the traditional Oscar categories and a number of additional specific honors. Nominees are pictured in the order I’ve ranked them.

The winner:
Blade Runner 2049 (Roger Deakins) presented a dark but beautiful vision of a bleak future, so incredibly captured that its lensing drove its story and the way in which its characters – both human and artificial – interacted.

The Florida Project (Alexis Zabe)
The Shape of Water (Dan Laustsen)
Dunkirk (Hoyte Van Hoytema)
Battle of the Sexes (Linus Sandgren)
