118 - Best Cinematography Nominees: Academy Awards 2022

Welcome to our continuing coverage of this year's Academy Awards®. Like last year, we have compiled interviews from the nominees in the Best Cinematography category. So, if you are an Oscar voter — either as an Academy member or as a fan participating in your annual office pool — you'll have a much better idea of what to watch for as you get to the Best Cinematography category on your ballot! Here are the nominated Directors of Photography, in alphabetical order by film:

• DUNE: Greig Fraser
• NIGHTMARE ALLEY: Dan Laustsen
• THE POWER OF THE DOG: Ari Wegner
• THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH: Bruno Delbonnel
• WEST SIDE STORY: Janusz Kaminski

Here's a table of contents of interviews, in case you'd like to jump around:

0:01:48 — DUNE — Greig Fraser

0:15:51 — NIGHTMARE ALLEY — Dan Laustsen 

0:38:35 — THE POWER OF THE DOG — Ari Wegner

NOTE: As always, all nominees were invited to join our conversations and we regret that Bruno Delbonnel and Janusz Kaminski were unavailable to join us in time for our podcast posting deadline.

Thanks to all the studios for helping us pull these interviews together! Be sure to check out DUNE, NIGHTMARE ALLEY, THE POWER OF THE DOG, THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH and WEST SIDE STORY before Oscars voting ends!
