The American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) has announced the nominees for all categories of the 33rd Annual ASC Outstanding Achievement Awards. Winners will be named at the awards gala on February 9 at the Ray Dolby Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland.

Congratulations from British Cinematographer go to four BSC members nominated for awards – Robbie Ryan BSC ISC for The Favourite (Theatrical Release), Florian Hoffmeister BSC for The Terror and James Friend BSC for Patrick Melrose (both Motion Picture, Miniseries, or Pilot Made for Television), and Adriano Goldman ASC BSC ABC for The Crown (Episode of a Series for Non-Commercial Television). Best of luck to all four.
