ASC Awards 2026: Celebrating Excellence in Cinematography
The American Society of Cinematographers is currently hosting its 40th anniversary ASC Awards at the Beverly Hilton, and we are here to provide you with the latest updates on the winners. The ASC Awards recognize outstanding achievements in cinematography across various categories, including feature films, TV, documentaries, and music videos. The winners are being announced throughout the event, and we will keep you informed about the results.
In the Theatrical Feature Film category, nominees such as Autumn Durald Arkapaw for "Sinners," Michael Bauman for "One Battle After Another," Darius Khondji for "Marty Supreme," Dan Laustsen for "Frankenstein," and Adolpho Veloso for "Train Dreams" are competing for the top prize. These nominees are also in the running for the Best Cinematography Oscar next week, showcasing their exceptional work in the industry.
The ASC Awards have a history of predicting the Best Cinematography Oscar winner, with the Theatrical Feature Film winner often going on to win the prestigious award. However, last year saw a deviation from this trend when the ASC winner did not match the Oscar winner. Guillermo del Toro, the filmmaker behind "Frankenstein" and a two-time Oscar winner, will be honored with the ASC's Board of Governors Award tonight for his contributions to the visual craft of cinema.
The winners of the 2026 ASC Awards have been announced for some categories, including Autumn Durald Arkapaw for "Sinners" in the Theatrical Feature Film category. Other winners in different categories include Adam Bricker for "Hacks," Michael Bauman for "Monster: The Ed Gein Story," and Steven Breckon for "The Plague." The remaining nominees are eagerly awaiting the results in their respective categories, and the excitement continues to build as the event progresses.
As the ASC Awards ceremony unfolds, we are witnessing exceptional talent and creativity in cinematography being recognized and celebrated. The dedication and artistry of these cinematographers are on full display, showcasing the importance of visual storytelling in the world of film and television. Stay tuned for more updates on the winners and nominees as the evening progresses.
