In terms of cameras on set, the majority of the nominated films in the category Best Picture used ARRI as their main camera. Both Cuarón for “Roma” and Newton Thomas Sigel ASC for “Bohemian Rhapsody” chose ARRI Rental’s ALEXA 65 camera. Cuarón also used Prime 65 lenses while Sigel helped to develop a unique set of Prime DNA lenses with ARRI Rental especially for the film. These lenses ended up capturing the Best Actor in a Leading Role performance this year which was awarded to Rami Malek. Rachel Morrison, the first camerawoman to be nominated for an Oscar® last year for “Mudbound,” chose ALEXA SXT for her work on “Black Panther” in 2018. The ALEXA Mini was also a popular choice and went to work for Matthew Libatique ASC in “A Star is Born” and for Sean Porter in “Green Book.” Whereas Robbie Ryan BSC, ISC for “The Favourite” and Greig Fraser ASC, ACS for “Vice” preferred to go analog with the ARRICAM LT and ST. Even though it wasn’t used as the main camera on the film, the ARRICAM LT supported the film crew on Spike Lee’s joint “BlacKkKlansman” as well.
