According to Variety, winners of the 32nd American Society of Cinematographers Awards were announced this past weekend. The awards salute stellar work in theatrical features, television projects and student films, and also honor select cinematographers and other filmmakers for their career achievements. The top prize went to Roger Deakins, cinematographer of BLADE RUNNER 2049. Read more about if from Variety here!
The ASC was the first organization in the film industry to be devoted exclusively to furthering and honoring professional achievement. It is not a labor union or a guild, but an educational, cultural and professional organization. Membership is extended by invitation to those who are actively engaged as directors of photography and have demonstrated outstanding ability.
The 15 original ASC members were Joe August, L.D. Clawson, Arthur Edeson, William C. Foster, Eugene Gaudio, Fred Le Roy Granville, Walter L. Griffin, J.D. Jennings, Roy H. Klaffki, Victor Milner, Robert S. Newhard, Philip E. Rosen, Charles G. Rosher, Homer A. Scott and L. Guy Wilky. (View the current ASC membership roster.)
