We're now under two weeks away from 
Oscar night, and it's starting to look like more of a surprising affair than originally assumed. The King's Speech has Best Picture all locked up in a nice little basket, but there are quite a few intense races still ahead. Amongst them is the cinematography race, which for a while felt like it was locked up for Roger Deakins of True Grit. Then Wally Pfister took his first ASC win last night for his work on Inception, effectively casting doubt on some of Deakins' chances. Pfister has a grand total of four consecutive nominations, while Deakins has accumulated nine nominations with zero wins. Somebody is going to get their first statuette this year, and I honestly hope it will be Deakins. He definitely deserves it.
