The wait is over for \u201cBlade Runner 2049\u201d cinematographer Roger Deakins, who finally won an Oscar after 14 nominations that go back to 1994\u2019s\u00a0\u201cThe Shawshank Redemption.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Deakins was unfazed in the press room when a reporter mentioned that he began his career in the era of film stock.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cOn the way here, I was just reminded that one of the early films I did was \u2018Sid and Nancy\u2019 with Gary Oldman,\u201d he said.\u00a0 \u201cSo amazing to be with Gary in the same space. I don\u2019t know, what can I say?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0Deakins also addressed the challenges of creating a sequel to Ridley Scott\u2019s original 1982 neo-noir sci-fi classic.<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n\u201cIt\u2019s all a part of your film memory, but this was very much Denis\u2019 film,\u201d Deakins said, a reference to director Denis Villeneuve. \u201cBut when you\u2019re aware of what\u2019s come before, I think what [\u201cBlade Runner\u201d cinematographer] Jordan [Cronenweth] did on that film was stunning, but I\u2019m a different person.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

He also said that after so many years of coming close but not winning the prize, he developed a sense of hesitation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cA big part of me was saying, \u2018please, please, no,\u2019\u201d he said of the prospect of taking the statue. \u201cBut it\u2019s great because I\u2019ve worked with a lot of the same people on my crew for years and years, and I feel it\u2019s recognition for their work \u2014 I really do \u2014 and I know they\u2019re watching in New York and London and Budapest, and I wish I could thank each and every one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
