Millimeter20th Annual ASC Outstanding Achievement Awards Slated for Feb. 26
Aug 19, 2005 3:33 PM
The 20th Annual American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography will be held on Feb. 26, 2006, at the Century Plaza Hotel, Los Angeles. Nominees for Outstanding Achievement Awards for feature films released in 2005 will be announced on Jan. 11. ASC will unveil nominees for Outstanding Achievement Awards in the narrative television competition on January 18. The television categories are for an episode of a series, and TV movies/miniseries/pilots that aired on network and pay-per-view/cable channels in 2005.
"This annual celebration was inaugurated in 1986 for the purpose of recognizing and inspiring the pursuit of excellence in the art and craft of cinematography," says Russ Alsobrook, ASC, chairman of the 20th Annual ASC Awards Committee. "The reality is that artful cinematography is generally designed to be transparent to audiences. That is why ASC members felt it was important to have an event where judging is done solely by peers."
ASC will also present Lifetime and International Achievement awards to cinematographers whose distinguished bodies of work have earned the respect of their peers. Board of Governors and Presidents Awards will be presented to individuals who have made exceptional contributions to advancing the art of filmmaking, and a Heritage Award will be presented to a deserving student.
ASC will also host an open house and Internet chat where colleagues, fans, students, and the media can interact with the honorees and nominees from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Feb. 25 at the ASC clubhouse located at 1782 N. Orange Drive in Hollywood.
