The American Society of Cinematographers on Tuesday unveiled nominations for its 36th annual ASC Awards, honoring the year’s best in feature film, documentary and television cinematography.
It’s worth noting that for the purposes of this largely movie-themed site, we are only going to go over the categories that mostly focus on feature film cinematography. If you’d like to check out the entire list of nominees for this year’s ASC Awards, the link will be posted at the end of the article.
