TFF #45 FILMS DUKE IT OUT FOR ASC AWARD
The American Society of Cinematographers sent a ripple of surprise and uncertainty into the Oscar race for Best Cinematography on Saturday night as they gave their top film prize to Lukasz Zal for shooting Pawel Pawlikowski's Cold War. Zal bested Alfonso Cuaron's Roma, thought by many to be the favorite for Oscar glory as well as other TFF #45 films First Man and The Favourite. The other ASC nominees was A Star Is Born.
Indiewire has the story on the ASC presentation which is linked here.

A note here on the passing of this past weekend of five time Oscar nominee Albert Finney. Finney has a spot in my heart since his role as mobster kingpin Leo in what is probably my favorite Coen Brothers film Miller's Crossing.
Four of Finney's Oscar nominations were for Male Lead: Tom Jones, Murder on the Orient Express, The Dresser and Under the Volcano. He was also nominated for Supporting Actor in Erin Brockovich. He turned down a knighthood in 2000.
Finney was 82.
Here's Indiewire's story on Finney's death.
That's the MTFB for this Monday. More on Thursday.
