ASC Awards: ‘Elvis’ Cinematographer Mandy Walker Takes Feature Film

“Elvis” director of photography Mandy Walker won Feature Film at the ASC Awards March 5, when the American Society of Cinematographers handed out its honors at the 37th annual awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Walker’s win in the feature film category could prove prescient; 17 out of the last 36 years found the ASC film winner winning the Academy Award. But it’s worth noting that Oscar nominees “Tár” and “All Quiet on the Western Front” were not among the ASC nominees.

In the TV categories, “The Old Man” took awards for Motion Picture, Limited Series, or Pilot Made for Television and Episode of a One-Hour Television Series – Commercial, while “Barry” won Episode of a Half-Hour Television Series for its Season 3 finale and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” won Episode of a One-Hour Television Series – Non-Commercial for its Season 4 finale.

In addition, several honorary awards were handed out. EGOT winner Viola Davis received the Board of Governors Award; two-time Oscar nominees Stephen Goldblatt received the Lifetime Achievement Award, and Darius Khondji received the International Award. Five-time Emmy winner Fred Murphy was awarded the Career Achievement in Television trophy, two-time FX Oscar winner Sam Nicholson received the Curtis Clark Technical Award,  and Charlie Lieberman received the Presidents Television Award.
