"Mad Men," "Game of Thrones," "American Horror Story," "Hatfields & McCoys" and "The New Normal" are among the television programs whose cinematography has been honored by the American Society of Cinematographers, which announced its TV nominees on Wednesday.
The ASC, an invitation-only organization of cinematographers with a membership of 300 active members and more than 150 associate members, announced 15 nominations in three categories for the 27th Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography.
Michael Goi, who had been nominated twice previously, received nominations in two different categories, one for "American Horror Story: Asylum" and one for "The New Normal."
A number of the other nominees are previous ASC nominees or winners. In the one-hour episodic TV category, David Moxness ("Fringe") and David Stockton ("Alcatraz") are past winners, and Chris Manley ("Mad Men") and Kramer Morgenthau ("Game of Thrones," above) are now four-time nominees.
In the half-hour episodic TV category, Peter Levy ("House of Lies") and Michael Price ("Happy Endings") are previous nominees.
Fox led all networks with three nominations, followed by FX, HBO and Cinemax with two each.
