Will Ozzie cinematographer Mandy Walker be nominated for an Oscar for her seemingly gorgeous work on Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming epic, “Australia”? We say seemingly because we’ve all only seen the (beautiful) trailer, but by god, just based on that arresting, lush and striking work, we’d practically say yes, she’s a lock for a nod. The two films of the year left that we are dying to see are “Milk” and “Australia,” and this little featurette about the photography of Luhrmann’s film gives us all the more reason to anticipate the amazing-looking picture. We can’t wait for this one. We’re skeptical about something like this getting nominated, but if it’s deserving, we hope it reaps a ton of nods. [ed. Ok, the above shot is Annie Leibovitz, but still, you get the, ahem, picture]. It’s also nice to see a female D.P. You don’t see a lot of them.
