The American Society of Cinematographers revealed the nominees for the 2024 ASC Awards, a precursor to the Oscar for Cinematography, and the results were somewhat as expected. Emphasis on “somewhat.” In the Theatrical Feature Film category, Matthew Libatique (“Maestro”), Robbie Ryan (“Poor Things”), Hoyte van Hoytema (“Oppeneheimer”), and Rodrigo Prieto (“Killers of the Flower Moon”) all earned nominations. They were joined by Edward Lachman who was honored for his work on Pablo Larrain‘s “El Conde.”

Surprising omissions in the category that might make the Oscars cut include Linus Sandgren (“Saltburn”), Lukasz Zal (“The Zone of Interest”), and Prieto, again, for “Barbie.”
In the television categories, a slew of intriguing nominees include Cathal Watters (“Foundation”), Glen Keenan (“Star Trek: Strange New Worlds”) Jon Joffin (“Schmigadoon!”), and Andrew Wehde (“The Bear”), among others.
