They Won for That? Roger Deakins (Blade Runner 2049 and 1917)

On a new installment of their ‘They Won For That?’ series, Nick and Sophia dive into a new category to talk about one of the best working cinematographers today, Roger Deakins. Before discussing his two Oscar wins, they talk about his style, thirteen other nominations, and notable works they think he should’ve been up for. Then, they wonder why it took him so long to grab that Oscar gold for ‘Blade Runner 2049’ and ‘1917’ (12:12). Lastly, would they swap either of these wins out or give him other deserved accolades? Nicole would surely agree that these other picks truly are dazzling images on a huge silver screen (28:59).
