Kodak Extends Record of Academy Award-Nominated Films

Every Oscar for Best Picture since the first Academy Awards in 1928 has honored a motion picture recorded on film from Eastman Kodak Company. This 78-year streak continues in 2006, as every picture nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture was produced on Kodak color motion picture film. This year’s Best Picture nominated films are Brokeback Mountain, Capote, Crash, Good Night, and Good Luck, and Munich.

The five nominees for Achievement in Cinematography this year also selected Kodak color negative films to help bring their stories to life. Rodrigo Prieto, ASC, AMC (Brokeback Mountain), Wally Pfister, ASC (Batman Begins), Robert Elswit, ASC (Good Night, and Good Luck), Dion Beebe, ASC, ACS (Memoirs of a Geisha), and Emmanuel Lubezki, ASC, AMC ( The New World) will vie for the cinematography Oscar.

The awards telecast airs March 5 on ABC-TV from the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles. A Kodak ad airing during the telecast will highlight the company’s digital technologies for mammography, which play a vital part in helping doctors detect breast cancer. The ad is part of the acclaimed “Keep It Kodak” gallery campaign.
