Here are our predictions for the Best Cinematography, where last year's winner -- Emmanuel Lubezki -- the absolute frontrunner. Just as he did last year with "Gravity," his work in "Birdman" opened the Venice Film Festival to universal acclaim and it's hard to imagine it not getting him another nomination, if not another win. But we haven't seen "Unbroken" -- a potential force to be reckoned with.
Check out our predictions in other categories here.
