The startling black-and-white cinematography of “The Lighthouse” struck a chord with the Academy, resulting in Blaschke’s first nom after 20 years of work in the independent film scene.

For his groundbreaking work on “1917,” Deakins has snagged the cinematography award from the Online Film Critics Society and nominations from the ASC and BAFTA.
