Predictions - Cinematography & Editing

BEST ACHIEVEMENT IN CINEMATOGRAPHY127 Hours
Black Swan
InceptionThe King's Speech
True Grit
Other Possibilities: Eat,Pray,Love, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 1, Never Let Me Go, Shutter Island, The Social Network, The Way Back

Roger Deakins (True Grit) and Wally Pfister (Inception) need not worry given their "Oscar favorites" status and the fact that their films were critical/box-office hits. Anthony Dod Mantle, on the other hand, may have won an Oscar two years ago for Slumdog Millionaire, but 127 Hours hasn't been faring that well this awards season. Plus, it missed out on an ACS nom. If another film were to get in, I would guess The Social Network.



BEST ACHIEVEMENT IN EDITING127 Hours
Black Swan
The Fighter
Inception
The Social Network
Other Possibilities: Blue Valentine, The King's Speech, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Shutter Island, The Town, True Grit
All of my predictions were nominated for ACE Eddies except for 127 Hours. It's totally possible that The King's Speech will be nominated instead. Blue Valentine and Scott Pilgrim are two longshots with big fans that I think could be surprise nominees, if there are any.
