The Revenant at the 30th ASC Outstanding Achievement Awards
The American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) has announced its Theatrical Release and Spotlight nominees for the 31st annual Outstanding Achievement Awards.
“Each of the nominated films offers a unique vision on the part of the director of photography,” said Kees van Oostrum, ASC President. “These movies also represent a less formulaic or traditional photographic style, and some of their stories highlight socially conscious subject matter that drives a strong surge in photographic realism.”
Introduced by Society vice-president Bill Bennett, ASC, former ASC president Richard Crudo presented the nominations in these two categories before a luncheon held on January 11 at the ASC Clubhouse in Hollywood.
