The American Society of Cinematographers hosted its 40th annual ASC Awards last night, celebrating the best achievements in cinematography over the past year. Oscar-winning cinematographer Michael Bauman took home the most coveted prize of all, the Theatrical Feature Film award, for “One Battle After Another.” It was Bauman’s first ASC Award and nomination for a Theatrical Feature Film. After an extensive career in camera and electrical department work, the cinematographer has primarily worked behind the camera on television series, including “American Horror Stories,” “Feud,” and “Monster.” Alongside Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another,” Bauman also served as cinematographer on Anderson’s 2021 film, “Licorice Pizza.” It is worth noting Bauman was also nominated this year in the Limited/Anthology/Motion Picture Made for TV category for his work on “Monster,” a category Pete Konczal won for “Black Rabbit.” Michael Bauman accepting his award at the 40th ASC Awards.…
