EMMANUEL LUBEZKI WINS THIRD CONSECUTIVE ASC AWARD

The American Society of Cinematographers has voted to give Emmanuel Lubezki his fifth award and his third in three years, for The Revenant. That's a decision that should surprise few, as he continues his sweep of the Cinematography awards this season, and as The Revenant picks up ever more Best Picture buzz. Check out the ASC's nominations here, and their award winners below:

AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CINEMATOGRAPHERS 2015 AWARD NOMINATIONS!

Last year's American Society of Cinematographers nominations missed the Academy's five by just one - they chose Best Picture contender The Imitation Game over the greater cinematographic achievement, Ida. I suspect that this year's nominees, listed below, will follow the same pattern: Bridge of Spies, the Best Picture contender, will make way for The Hateful Eight, the more notable cinematographic achievement. Otherwise, expect a pretty close match. These nominations will be resolved with the ASC's awards on the 14th of February.

Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography

Roger Deakins (Sicario)

Janusz Kaminski (Bridge of Spies)

Edward Lachman (Carol)

Emmanuel Lubezki (The Revenant)
