The American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) announced their nominations for 2017, which included a history-making nom for a female cinematographer. Rachel Morrison, the director of photography on Mudbound, became the first woman in the group’s 32-year history to earn an ASC nomination. Other nominations in film included Roger Deakins for Blade Runner 2049, Bruno Delbonnel for Darkest Hour, Hoyte van Hoytema for Dunkirk and Dan Laustsen for The Shape of Water.
Morrison could also make history at the Oscars as the first-ever female cinematographer nominated in Best Cinematography. Lucky for her, this group tends to match at least 4/5 with the Oscars so it’s a very reliable precursor.
