Win: American Society of Cinematographers’ Award

Following numerous US-based critics’ citations, Emmanuel Lubezki’s work on Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life has earned him the American Society of Cinematographers’ Award at the ASC’s 26th annual awards. The ceremony was held Sunday night at the Hollywood and Highland Grand Ballroom in Los Angeles.

An Oscar nominee for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Cinematography, The Tree of Life is a complex family drama starring Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, and Jessica Chastain. The film marked the second time the Mexican-born Lubezki took home the ASC Award; he had previously won for Alfonso Cuarón’s Children of Men (2006). An earlier ASC nomination for Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow (1999) preceded Lubezki two victories.
