BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY
Oppenheimer has won every major precursor here and is this year’s Best Picture winner, it’s taking this. The level of innovation Hoyte van Hoytema and his team spearheaded for this film is unparalleled and makes Oppenheimer a very deserving winner here.
Nominees:
Oppenheimer – BAFTA, CCA, ASC
Poor Things
Killers of the Flower Moon
Maestro
El Conde

BEST COSTUME DESIGN
Like with Production Design, this is a battle between Poor Things and Barbie. With the costuming mimicking existing Barbie doll outfits, Barbie’s costuming will likely be seen as more of an intrinsic part of the film than its production design, though that might be up for debate. Either way, I’m going to cover my bases and give Poor Things production design and Barbie costume design since those are the categories where each film has done the best in terms of precursor wins.
Nominees:
Barbie – CCA, CDG (Sci-Fi/Fantasy)
Poor Things – BAFTA, CDG (Period)
Oppenheimer
Napoleon
Killers of the Flower Moon
Pick: Barbie
