Cinematographer Roger Deakins received his ninth Oscar nomination this year, this time for his stunning work on the Coen Brother's True Grit.  Naturally, the Academy has never given him the award because that would make too much sense.  No offense to the other nominees this year, but it's time for Deakins to get his due.  After the jump you can check out a video that highlights his incredible work on True Grit and see why Deakins (yet again) deserves to win Best Cinematography.  The 83rd Academy Awards will be held on February 27th.
