2025 Academy Awards nominations with Jenelle Riley, Variety

Special: The Cinematography Podcast 2025 Academy Awards Nomination Special



Long-time friend and colleague Jenelle Riley of Variety magazine chats with Ben and Illya for our SIXTH annual Oscar nominations special. With a focus on cinematography, they discuss what they liked, what will win, what should win, and their favorite movies of the year that may not have been recognized.



They discuss this year's nominations, the BAFTAs as a predictor for this year's Oscars, the ASC Awards nominees, and a little about last year's nominee and winner, Hoyte Van Hoytema, for Oppenheimer. Both Alice Brooks for Wicked and Stéphane Fontaine for Conclave were not nominated this awards season, but were nominated for ASC Awards. Ed Lachman, cinematographer of Maria, won the ASC Award this year. Ben, Jenelle and Illya agree that Drew Daniels for Anora and Benjamin Kračun for The Substance were also cinematographers who deserve recognition for their work.



Academy Award nominees for Best Cinematography this year are:



Lol Crawley, The Brutalist



Greig Fraser, Dune Part 2



Paul Guilhaume, Emilia Pérez



Ed Lachman, Maria



Jarin Blaschke, Nosferatu
