"Mank" cinematographer Erik Messerschmid won the best cinematography Oscar in Los Angeles on Sunday (April 25) for his work on the Netflix film.

1930s Hollywood drama "Mank," about "Citizen Kane" screenwriter Herman Mankiewicz and directed by David Fincher, received a total of 10 Oscar nominations including the coveted best picture Oscar.

"I wish I could cut this into five pieces because it's such an honor to be nominated among all of you. It's an incredible honor. David (Fincher), thank you. Thank you for creating an environment where we could do our best work and I got to go home and feel like I gave it my all every night," said Messerschmid, after accepting his Oscar.

Social distancing and travel restrictions forced a complete rethink of the ceremony, moving it to Union Station in downtown Los Angeles and shifting the nominated original song performances into a pre-show that was recorded in advance.
