While three women made the Oscars shortlist for cinematography, the ASC nominated Autumn Durald Arkapaw for “Sinners.”

Ryan Coogler’s go-to cinematographer Arkapaw became the fifth woman ever to be nominated in the ASC’s top category.

Last year, Mandy Walker was elected the 48th president of the American Society of Cinematographers, making her the first woman to hold the position. She also made history in 2023 when she became the society’s first woman to receive an ASC Award for feature film cinematography, winning for Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis.” To date, she remains the only woman to have won in that category.

The ASC Awards will be handed out on March 8 at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.
