Though this year's Oscar ceremony may be Seamus McGarvey's first as a nominee, the cinematographer is certainly no stranger to awards buzz. As one of this year's most nominated films—and the Golden Globe winner for Best Motion Picture—McGarvey's been riding Atonement's wave of success and collecting his own share of accolades along the way. In addition to his Oscar nod, McGarvey's work behind the camera has been singled out by the American Society of Cinematographers, BAFTA, Chicago Film Critics Association, Irish Film and Television Awards and the Online Film Critics Society. Only time will tell if he'll walk away from the Kodak Theatre with a golden statue come Oscar night. But as he prepares for his night in the spotlight, MM got the lowdown on how he's getting ready.
