A GOOD YEAR
If it’s not too late to say it… Happy New Year, and hope you’re doing well.

We send our congratulations to everyone nominated for their cinematographic achievements in the forthcoming awards season. This year’s movies, along with many others you can see on a screen near you, are entertaining and richly-rewarding visually, and stand in testament to remarkable talents and creative collaborations.

LIke last year, when films shot-on-film predominated, it’s particularly encouraging to see a good many of the 2026 contenders having been captured on analogue film too. It will be interesting to see the outcomes of Oscar, BAFTA, ASC and BSC awards. We’re running our own bets as to the winners, and wouldn’t be surprised if some history were to be made.

Thanks to everyone who contributes to and supports Cinematography World, now in our fifth year, and we look forward to 2026 bringing better times for all.

Long live cinematography!
