:: The Official Academy Animated Awards - Vote Two For Best Cinematography!"

Hey, everybody. This is Nine XXVI and this is the start of the first ever (and hopefully not last) Academy Animated Awards.

quote:

The Academy Animated Award for Best Cinematography is awarded by the members of the Paradigm City Forums to the director of photography with the best noted direction in cinematography. The award is presented to the winner, the cinematographer. The cinematographer and the anime series they directed the photography in are credited and listed below. The other three nominees of the category are also listed below.

Peace.

2005: The Big O - Susumu Fukushi

• Cowboy Bebop
  
• Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
  
• Paranoia Agent
  

2006: Cowboy Bebop - Yoichi Ohgami

• FullMetal Alchemist
  
• Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG
  
• Princess Mononoke
  

I'll try and keep this short and just say that I'm for Big O and Ghost in the Shell. Basically, I think their cinematography is flawless. Cowboy Bebop's is pretty damn good as well but Big O and Ghost in the Shell is like the upper tier stuff for me.

Nine XXVI's Picks: Big O, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Peace.

Welcome everybody to the 2006 Academy Animated Awards!

This thread is for Best Cinematography and I've made some updates on the last year version, showing what the details of the Best Cinematography category all about, who won, and who else was nominated for the award.

Best Cinematography Presenter: R.Smith

Like last year, you get to vote for two of the nominees. And those nominees are:

:: Cowboy Bebop - Yoichi Ohgami

:: FullMetal Alchemist - Susumu Fukushi

:: Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG - Koji Tanaka

:: Princess Mononoke - Atsushi Okui

Peace.

Ghost in the Shell has some of the best photography I've seen in a while, regarding both anime and live series. Same as with Cowboy Bebop, who I thought would win it last time.

EDIT: Um. I'm kind of surprised that FMA is gettin' no love in this department.
Peace.
