The 10 Biggest Surprises Of The 2016 Oscars

8) Chivo Lubezki Wins Third Cinematography Oscar, Ruins Roger Deakins’ Night Once Again

Perhaps it’s a stretch to say Emmanuel Lubezki’s Oscar win for Best Cinematography for The Revenant was a ‘surprise.’ The stars certainly seemed to be aligning that way, as he’d cleaned up at pretty much every major awards ceremony leading up the Oscars last night. But three Oscars for Cinematography three years in a row – that’s still a shock no matter how you look at it.

Pity poor Roger Deakins, who after 13 Oscar nominations has still never won, and has for the third year running been beaten by ‘Chivo’ Lubezki to the prize.

There was some speculation that Deakins might win this year as a kind of sympathy nod, and for the fact that he valiantly keeps turning up to the ceremony despite constantly losing. Alas, Lubezki took home the gold once more.
