Edward Lachman, Best Cinematography
“I am so appreciative that my crew, Pablo Larraín, Fabula Productions, and Netflix have been honored with this recognition for all of our work.”
Jonathan Glazer and James Wilson, Best Picture
“Thank you to the Academy for recognizing The Zone of Interest. We’re humbled by these five nominations. Thank you on behalf of everyone in Poland, Germany and the UK who came together over the nine years it took. Especially Ewa Puszczynska, our producer partner in Poland where the film was shot. To A24, Film4, Access and the Polish Film Institute who walked the walk throughout. To Dr. Piotr Cywinski and all at the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum who were so collaborative. The film is trying to ask questions about modern humanity and empathy. Whether there are people over our wall now, as a group, whose safety or freedom we care about less than our own. We’re grateful to the Academy for giving it such visibility.”
Johnnie Burn and Tarn Willers, Best Sound
"This is such an extraordinary moment in my life to be honored by the Academy. Three years ago, Jonathan Glazer said to me we are going to make a film about the Holocaust but we are only ever going to hear the atrocities, and never go inside the camp. To be honest, I panicked at the responsibility and thought he was mad. I am so grateful to Jonathan, Jim Wilson, Ewa Puszczyńska, A24, Film4 and Access for their faith in the sound, and I really couldn't have done this without Simon Carroll, Brendan Feeney, and Max Behrens and all at Wave Studios. But mostly I am so very happy that more people will get to see the movie and its powerful message.” —Johnnie Burn
“I am thrilled to receive this nomination! I’m delighted and at the same time humbled that our work has been recognized in such a way. This nomination of course extends to Mateusz Stasiak, Jimi Ogden and Fillip Sulima, and my team whose work and creative ideas made this possible. And thank you to Jonathan Glazer, Jim Wilson, Ewa Puszczyńska, A24, Film4 and Access for their dedication to this important film.” —Tarn Willers
