Michael Bauman Wins Top Cinematography Award for 'One Battle After Another'

Michael Bauman's win at the 40th ASC Awards boosts his chances for the Oscar, joining a category where ASC winners have matched the Academy 18 times in 39 years.

  • On Sunday, Michael Bauman won the ASC's top Theatrical Feature Film prize for One Battle After Another at The Beverly Hilton, beating Autumn Durald Arkapaw, Darius Khondji, Dan Laustsen and Adolpho Veloso.
  • The ASC Awards honor the year's best cinematography, and Bauman's win positions him as a leading contender for the Oscar, with the ASC's theatrical winner having matched the Academy 18 times in 39 years.
  • Bauman entered the night with two nominations, including for Monster: The Ed Gein Story, while the ceremony honored Guillermo del Toro and Robert Yeoman and Rodrigo Prieto won the music-video award.
  • The ASC result intensifies the duel between One Battle After Another and Sinners, but Sinners and Train Dreams remain viable contenders next week, despite Bauman's victory.
  • Next week, the Academy ballot features the same quintet of cinematographers nominated for Best Cinematography, with One Battle After Another and its rivals competing on March 15, 2026.
