The 81st Oscar nominees for cinematography in alphabetical order:

CHANGELING, Tom Stern.

THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON, Claudio Miranda. Digital.
Claudio Miranda used a Thompson Grass Valley Viper/S.two with uncompressed data recording.

THE DARK KNIGHT, Wally Pfister.

THE READER, Chris Menges and Roger Deakins.

SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, Anthony Dod Mantle. Digital.
Jan 22 - Anthony Dod Mantle's cinematography is beyond perfect, it is inspired. He is able to evoke exactly the right emotional tone in every scene. I would hate to be a filmmaker in competition this year, in any category--Slumdog Millionaire is simply one of the best films I've ever seen. I was completely involved during the film, and emotionally exhausted at the end of the film. ADM shot the film in digital, using a Silicon Imaging S1-2K camera. Digital output was recorded direct to disk in cineform RAW.
