Computer generated Cinemotography

Something that I learned from this article is that the Academy Award for Best Cinematography has gone to movies with heavy amounts of CGI three times in the past four years. Another thing I learned from the article is that the Cinematographer for the movie Gravity, Emmanuel Lubezki, was present throughout the entire effects and compositing post-production of the film to ensure that it kept his cinematic touch. I also learned that some people believe that these movies that are heavily computer generated should be in a separate category than those that are not when it comes to awards. Something that I liked about this article is that it showed the differences between "traditional cinematography" and "Virtual Cinematography" but showed how both can be equally powerful. Something that I didnt like about this article is that I didnt learn much from it. A question I have about this article is how doesnt the Academy see that the movies that are heavily CGI have an obvious advantage to those that arent when it comes to lighting and camera movement?
