The 8th Hall Of Fame Inductee For Contribution To Cinematography - Emmanuel Lubezki




This year’s inductee has, in the course of my reviewing lifetime, won two out of the six awards (in 2011 for The Tree Of Life, in 2013 for Gravity) given out for Best Cinematography, and may be on the cusp of winning his third in the past four years for his work on Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu’s Birdman. Having worked since the early-1990s on films by Alfonso Cuaron, Terrence Malick, Tim Burton, Michael Mann, Rodrigo Garcia, The Coen Brothers and the late Mike Nichols, this DP is in the middle of a career high, the fruit of which has been some of the greatest cinematography that has ever graced the big screen.
