Mad Max: Best Cinematography (please).

It's probably rash to foretell that Mad Max will get a nod from the Academy. For what its worth, Russovoir predicted Whiplash (2014) and Nightcrawler (2014) will see themselves on the coveted list.

The film was every definition entertaining, intense, and pure adrenaline rush. I couldn't imagine it in 3D, for Russovoir was already ducking, steering right for an incoming spear, stepping on the floor for gas, squinting from billowing sand, and cringing when something explodes, staged diligently thus shot fantastically.

"Remember my name!"

Russovoir wasn't looking at Charlize Theron, and that's effective role playing. Not that this is rare of her. But it wasn't just about her. And that's what Russovoir likes to point out. It was everything: the story, the color palette, cinematography, production design, Zoe Kravitz, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley - how badass she could be, Nicholas Hoult, and of course, the one and only Tom Hardy. 1979, 1985, and finally 2015, George Miller had waited thirty years for another chronicle of the franchise. It would not surprise Russovoir if pre and post production progressed (and perfected) over time; James Cameron's Avatar (2009) took twelve. The film is speechless perfection. Remember that time Michael Bay's Transformers (2007) changed the movie-going experience? Avatar (2009), how it gave lucrative necessity for 3D? The George Miller 1979 reboot has spoken: Hollywood, when provoked, will remind the audience why they are No.1 in making movies.
