Hoyte van Hoytema Wins Big at ASC Awards for Oppenheimer Cinematography

Hoyte van Hoytema triumphed at the 38th annual American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) Awards, claiming the top prize for his exceptional work on “Oppenheimer.” He faced stiff competition from other nominees including Edward Lachman (“El Conde”), Matthew Libatique (“Maestro”), Rodrigo Prieto (“Killers of the Flower Moon”), and Robbie Ryan (“Poor Things”).

The ceremony, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel with Ed Helms as host, honored the best achievements in cinematography across various categories. Notably, all five contenders in the theatrical feature film category are also vying for the coveted Best Cinematography award at the Oscars. However, only 17 films in the ASC’s 38-year history have gone on to win the corresponding Oscar.
