Nominations for the Oscars were released this morning. A few had connections to the 007 film series.
Cinematography: The directors of photography for the last two James Bond movies received nominations. Roger Deakins (who worked on Skyfall) got a nomination for Blade Runner 2049. Hoyte van Hoytema (who worked on SPECTRE) received a nomination for Dunkirk.
Production Design: Dennis Gassner shared a nomination with Alessandra Querzola for Blade Runner 2049. Gassner has been the production designer on the Bond series since 2008’s Quantum of Solace. Gassner has said he’ll be back for Bond 25.
Film Editing: Lee Smith, who is part of director Christopher Nolan’s regular crew, received a nomination for Dunkirk. Smith worked on SPECTRE.
Visual Effects: Chris Corbould was among four people getting a nomination for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Corbould has Bond film credits going back to the 1980s.
As an aside, Nolan — who some 007 fans would like to helm a Bond film — received a directing nomination for Dunkirk. That film also received a nomination for Best Picture.

The Spy Command 
Chris Corbould is a Veteran Special Visual effects expert, who I Believe Deserves to win the Oscar. I had seen a Behind the Scene’s Documentary of ”DIE ANOTHER DAY” (2002) trust me, his work on the film is awesome. However, it would be Great to see him work with director Christopher Nolan on a Future James Bond film Starring Henry Cavill.
