Oscars Nominate First Female Cinematographer: Rachel Morrison for ‘Mudbound’

Rachel Morrison just made Oscar history as the first woman ever nominated for Best Cinematography for her work on director Dee Rees’ period drama “Mudbound.” She faces off against Roger Deakins for “Blade Runner 2049,” Bruno Delbonnel for “Darkest Hour,” Hoyte van Hoytema for “Dunkirk” and Dan Laustsen for “The Shape of Water.” Two weeks ago, Morrison became the first female cinematographer nominated in the feature-film category for the 32nd annual American Society of Cinematographers Awards.
