American Society of Cinematographers Nominations Revealed

The nominations for the 35th American Society of Cinematographers for feature films and documentaries have been revealed.

Sigel is joined by Erik Messerschmidt for Mank, Dariusz Wolski for News of the World, Joshua James Richards for Nomadland, and Phedon Papamichael for The Trial of the Chicago 7.

The ASC will announce the winners on Sunday, April 18 through a virtual ceremony set to be live streamed via American Cinematographer’s Facebook at 12:30pm PT from the historic ASC Clubhouse in Hollywood. Full list of nominations below.
