Legendary cameraman Roger Deakins finally bagged the Oscar for best cinematography on his 14th attempt on Sunday, completing his trophy collection with a win for "Blade Runner 2049."
The 68-year-old Briton won the honor for his artful rendering of a drizzly, neon-lit futuristic Los Angeles and the burnt orange hellscape of Las Vegas in Denis Villeneuve's sequel to the cult 1982 hit "Blade Runner."
