2012 Oscar Nominations
Last year many people contributed to our colorist slant on the Oscar nominations for best picture. It made interesting reading and we have done the same again this year, with the inclusion of Best Cinematography to round the list up to 10.Thanks to everyone that replied here, privately, on the TIG and on the CML and congratulations to all the colorists involved. It makes interesting reading, and you can draw your own conclusions. I doubt anyone would claim it is an accurate picture of the whole industry today though.
