In conjunction with Colorist Society International, we are bringing back our search for the colorists on the Oscar nominations. Yes, their credits are buried down at the bottom of the endcrawl, and no, they probably won’t get a mention in any of the acceptance speeches, but you know they (and often their team) watched every frame of these movies and made them better. So congratulations to all the colorists…
