After a delay due to the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles, the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) announced the nominees for its 2025 Outstanding Achievement Awards, spanning feature films, documentaries, television, and music videos. “Dune: Part 2” continues to be a craft favorite with a nomination for Greig Fraser, but winter films made their mark, with nominations for “Nosferatu” and “A Complete Unknown,” among others. The ASC’s spotlight award, which highlights outstanding features with a more limited release or festival run, also nominated Jomo Fray’s work on “Nickel Boys,” keeping it in the conversation.
On the television side, both “House of the Dragon” and “Shōgun” earned multiple nominations for sweeping and sometimes fantastical work in the One-Hour Regular Series category; “Hacks” and “The Franchise” earned nominations for the sharp, funny backstage view of the entertainment industry that Adam Bricker’s and Carl Herse’s cameras each take. The ASC also singled out three music video nominees, including Rodrigo Prieto’s stint as a DP on Taylor Swift’s “Fortnight” video.
Winners will be honored at the 39th Annual ASC Awards on February 23 at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. For those who can’t attend in person, the ceremony will be live-streamed on theasc.com.
