The nominees for the American Society of Cinematographers are below. (Although, it actually helps to see the films themselves -- even "Atonement.")
Roger Deakins for "No Country for Old Men"
Roger Deakins for "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford"
Seamus McGarvey for "Atonement"
Janusz Kaminski for "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly"
Robert Elswit for "There Will Be Blood"
Those are all fine choices. But these are extremely worthy:
Harris Savides for "Zodiac"
Agnes Godard for "Golden Door"
William Lubtchansky for "Regular Lovers"
