ASC Awards Noms: ‘Oppenheimer’, ‘Maestro’ & ‘El Conde’ In Cinematographers’ Sights

The American Society of Cinematographers has unveiled the nominations for its 38th annual ASC Awards, honoring the year’s best in feature film, documentary and television cinematography.

The society’s marquee Theatrical Feature Film nominees are chock-full of awards-season favorite pics, with one surprise. Edward Lachman is up for the Netflix pic El Conde, joining the likes of Matthew Libatique for Maestro, Rodrigo Prieto for Killers of the Flower Moon, Robbie Ryan for Poor Things, Hoyte van Hoytema for Oppenheimer.

Prieto also lensed the year’s No. 1 movie, Barbie, but missed the ASC cut today.

The group’s film winner has gone on to claim the Academy Award nearly half of the time — 17 times in its 37 years — but not last year. Mandy Walker won the ASC’s top film prize in 2023, but the Academy Award went to James Friend for All Quiet on the Western Front.

On the small-screen front, only three programs made a return trip to the 2024 nominations, and all have wrapped their runs. HBO’s Barry and Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty, whose pilot was nommed in 2023 and this year is vying in the One-Hour Regular Series category, and Prime Video’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

The trophies will be handed out on Sunday, March 3, during the ceremony at the Beverly Hilton. Here are the nominees for the 2024 ASC Awards:
