It deserves an Academy Award

I am someone who likes a good camera work in a movie, even if it is a movie like Feast. But I must admit, I somehow loved the camera work. How it moved and the way some pictures are shown is really great. I found myself comparing it with the 2005 movies that were nominated for an Academy Award for Camera I am totally honest and I think this movie should have been there, don´t you think?
You feel so much right inside the movie... great!

The use of handheld cameras, pans, and amusing Dutch Angles are notable, though highly derivative. Cinematography and Direction are really big words, and I somehow feel the legitimate contenders for this award were not shaking in their boots over 'Feast' on nomination night. For what it's worth, nods in both these categories went to a film about two horses mercilessly traumatized over several years by their owners. Now that's horror.
