TheWrap’s Steve Pond predicts that Wegner will take home the trophy, giving her the edge over “Dune” DP Greig Fraser (the cinematographer of Campion’s previous movie “Bright Star”), who has scored the BAFTA and ASC precursors. But Wegner’s nomination alone still marks a milestone.She joined Rachel Morrison (who photographed 2017’s “Mudbound”) as the only women ever nominated in the category. That’s two out of more than 500 cinematography nominees since the first Oscars in 1929.
And this particular award, in fact, has even had more people nominated than other branches of the Academy, because from the 1930s to the 60s, there were two category lineups to distinguish between color and black-and-white movies. The lack of gender parity in the film industry is not surprising.

But why specifically is Best Cinematography, and by extension the art of cinematography, such an exclusive men’s club? A glance at female representation in other technical Oscar categories reveals a trail of clues.Take Best Costume Design, Oscar’s most generous category for female nominees. At least one woman has been nominated every year since the category was inaugurated in 1948, with about a 50 percent winning ratio, including nine of the last 10 winners. The most awarded woman in Oscar history is a costumer, Edith Head.
Best Film Editing has also been somewhat less of a male fraternity. Like costume design, the craft emerged from the skills of sewing and stitching. Women film editors have been nominated 81 times, starting when the award was created in 1934, and the 15 movies edited by women that have won

However, while the critically acclaimed film — which memorably unleashed the power of the dong with on-screen full-frontal male nudity — did score a slew of awards before the Oscars, it was not nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award for best ensemble, which is typically a reliable predictor of a Best Picture win.“Dog” did win best picture in the drama category at the controversy-ridden Golden Globes, which did not air after embarrassing public backlash, alongside “West Side Story,” which was top dog in the musical category.While given seven nods, Steven Spielberg’s updated “West Side Story” hardly shared the same success as the 1961 original, which took home more Oscars than any other musical has.

(It was later revealed that the ensuing Internet backlash led the Academy to ask Zegler to present an award, too.)Less reflective of the Academy, but just as much of a rollercoaster, has been the awards season race in general—and few categories are as hotly contested as best actress, which, just days before the Oscars ceremony begins, is still anyone’s game.
