The winner will be revealed on February 15 during the annual ASC Awards gala at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles.
"These nominees represent a fabulous slate selected from a particularly rich field of work this year," says ASC President Richard Crudo. "It's amazing how these cinematographers have once again redefined the boundaries of what we do."
This is Deakins' 13th ASC nomination. He previously won for Skyfall (2013), The Shawshank Redemption (1995) and The Man Who Wasn't There (2002).

He was also the recipient of the organization's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011.
Lubezki won the ASC Award last year for Gravity. He also took home top honors for The Tree of Life (2012) and Children of Men (2007), and was nominated in 2000 for Sleepy Hollow.
Pope previously earned a nomination for The Illusionist (2007).

My congratulations to all of them but especially to Oscar who is a gentleman and a super lovely cameraman!

He is also the very first Spanish cinematographer getting nominated for the ASC Awards.

 

Congratulations Oscar! :)
