It's Oscars time again and this year we have the pleasure to share the news that two Victorian ACS members have been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Cinematography.
Ari Wegner ACS has received her first Oscar nomination for her work on Jane Campion's "The Power of the Dog" and Greig Fraser ACS ASC has received his second Oscar nomination for his work on Denis Villeneuve's "Dune".
Ari is only the second woman in history to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Cinematography.
Ari shared the following with The Hollywood Reporter:
“For any DP it’s really a dream come true, especially for those of use forging an unconventional path,” Wegner said, citing Rachel Morrison, the first woman to be Oscar-nominated in cinematography, in 2018, for Dee Rees’ Mudbound. “Rachel came before me, but I still feel like it’s a historic moment and hopefully a step toward breaking that ceiling more permanently, really smashing it.”
Congratulations to both Greig and Ari on this phenomenal achievement, and for making us all incredibly proud that two of the five nominees in 2022 are from the Australian state of Victoria.
