Wegner is the second woman ever to be nominated in the ASC’s feature competition. The first was Rachel Morrison, who was nominated in 2018 for Mudbound. Morrison is also the only woman to date to have been nominated for an Oscar in cinematography, also for Mudbound.

In six of the last 10 years, the winner of the ASC feature competition went on to win the cinematography Oscar, including a year ago when Erik Messerschmidt won both awards for David Fincher’s Mank.

Nominee Fraser previously won the ASC feature competition for 2016’s Lion and Delbonnel in 2005 for A Very Long Engagement (he also received the ASC International Award in 2020).

On Tuesday, the ASC also announced nominees for its Spotlight Award — which recognizes cinematography in independent, foreign or art house–type films — as well as in categories for documentary, motion picture/limited series/pilot made for TV, episode of a one-hour series (commercial), episode of a one-hour series (non-commercial) and episode of a half-hour TV series.

Winners will be announced during the 36th ASC Awards on March 20 as a hybrid event, both in person and livestreamed from the ASC Clubhouse in Hollywood.
