American Society of Cinematographers preview

The ASC were to have announced their nominees tonight, but we just heard word that they’ll be ready early tomorrow morning instead. Time now for quick predictions and simple overnight poll of your personal favorites.

Sasha’s picks:

• The Artist (Guillame Schiffman)
• The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (Jeff Cronenweth)
• Hugo (Robert Richardson)
• The Tree of Life (Emmanuel Lubezki)
• War Horse (Janusz Kaminski)

* alternate: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (Hoyte Van Hoytema)

My hunch isn’t much different:

• Jeff Cronenweth, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
• Guillame Schiffman, The Artist
• Robert Richardson, Hugo
• Emmanuel Lubezki, The Tree of Life
• Hoyte Van Hoytema, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

* alternate: Newton Thomas Sigel, Drive

Other top contenders in the poll after the cut.

(Having technical difficulties with the poll. It comes and goes. Keep trying back and we hope the service gets fixed.)
