‘Sinners’ Is so Much Bigger than the BAFTA Chaos Around It
Arkapaw is the first woman of color nominated for cinematography at the Oscars, joining only three women ever nominated in this category, highlighting increasing diversity.
- This month, Autumn Durald Arkapaw earned an Oscar nomination for cinematography on Ryan Coogler's Sinners, becoming the first woman of color nominated in the category.
- Her career includes praised early work on Palo Alto, which earned her a spot on Variety's 2014 10 Cinematographers to Watch list, while Ryan Coogler's collaborative practice helped put women on a platform, Arkapaw said.
- Alongside Arkapaw, the ballot lists Adolpho Veloso, Michael Bauman, Dan Laustsen and Darius Khondji, according to the source.
- Sinners' creative departments, including Ruth E. Carter, costume designer, Hannah Beachler, production designer, and Shunika Terry, hair designer, helped the film win three BAFTAs and break a record with 16 Oscar nominations.
- Arkapaw said the nomination could inspire young girls and film students of similar heritage and open doors for female cinematographers.
