‘The Batman,’ ‘Top Gun: Maverick,’ ‘Elvis Nominated by American Society of Cinematographers

“Top Gun: Maverick,” “Empire of Light” and “Elvis” are among the films nominated by the American Society of Cinematographers in the feature film category.

The ASC nominees for feature film, documentary and television cinematography represent the organization’s picks for the most compelling visual filmmaking. Last year’s ASC feature film winner was “Dune” cinematographer Greig Fraser, who later went on to win the best cinematography Oscar. Fraser also landed a nomination this year for “The Batman.”

Cinematographer Mandy Walker was nominated in the theatrical film category for her work on Warner Bros.’ “Elvis,” becoming the third woman ever nominated by the guild, after Rachel Morrison for “Mudbound” and Ari Wegner for “The Power of the Dog.” Could Walker, who has been earning rave reviews, be the first woman to make history by winning this ASC award and could she make in to the Oscars top five and become the first woman to win for best cinematography?

Rounding out the feature film nominations was Darius Khondji, who earned a nod for “Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths.”

Notably missing were Janusz Kaminski (“The Fabelmans”), Russell Carpenter (“Avatar: The Way of Water”), Florian Hoffmeister (“Tár) and Luc Montpellier (“Women Talking”).

As previously announced, Viola Davis will receive the ASC Board of Governors Award. The 37th annual ASC Outstanding Achievement Awards Gala will be held at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif., on March 5 and livestreamed worldwide.
