There is no better crystal ball for what the Oscar nominees might look like than the various guild honors, and after the Producers Guild Awards revealed who might be in contention for Best Picture earlier this week, the cinematographers have revealed their votes for the year’s best.
The American Society of Cinematographers have revealed the nominees for their 29th Outstanding Achievement Awards ceremony, and it’s mostly veterans dominating this year. Roger Deakins and Emmnauel Lubezki were pretty much locks all through the awards season, and you could probably throw Dick Pope in that category too. Robert D. Yeoman is a slight surprise, which perhaps speaks to Fox Searchlight‘s quiet but not unnoticeable campaign for "The Grand Budapest Hotel," while relative newcomer Óscar Faura is perhaps the big surprise here.
The awards will be handed out on February 15th. Nominees below.
- Roger Deakins, ASC, BSC for Unbroken
- Óscar Faura for The Imitation Game
- Emmanuel Lubezki ASC, AMC for Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)
- Dick Pope, BSC for Mr. Turner
- Robert D. Yeoman, ASC for The Grand Budapest Hotel
