The winners in the feature film category will be announced on February 27 at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza hotel.

"It is a daunting challenge for our members to narrow a very competitive field down to five films that represent the most artful cinematography we have seen during the past year," says ASC President Michael Goi. "We believe these very different films have set the contemporary standard for compelling visual storytelling."

The list of nominees:

The Hurt Locker (Barry Ackroyd, BSC)
Nine (Dion Beebe, ASC, ACS)
The White Ribbon (Christian Berger, AAC)
Avatar (Mauro Fiore, ASC)
Inglourious Basterds (Robert Richardson, ASC)
