The ASC also feted Gilbert Cates, who received the Board of Governors Award, which is presented annually to an individual who has made extraordinary and enduring contributions to advancing the art of filmmaking. It is the only annual award that ASC reserves for an individual who is not a cinematographer. The award was presented to Cates in recognition of his achievements as a producer and director, and for his many services to the industry.
The ASC International Achievement Award went to Tonino Delli Colli AIC. The legendary Italian cinematographer began his career at Cinecitta Studios in Rome in 1938 when he was 16 years old. He was a driving force in the birth and evolution of neorealist cinema in Italy during the mid-1940s and 1950s.
Delli Colli told the audience that neorealism was "a child of necessity." He explained that the defining characteristic of those films was that they were shot in real-life environments. "We used only ambient light and the light coming through windows as the starting point for photography."
Delli Colli compiled 137 credits over 60 years, including such classic films as The Name of the Rose, Once Upon a Time in the West, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in America and Life is Beautiful.
Film critic Leonard Maltin received the first-ever ASC Award of Distinction, and the President's Award went to Richard Moore ASC.

Claim Honours at 2005 ASC Awards
Bruno Delbonnel AFC took top honors for A Very Long Engagement in the feature film competition at the 19th annual American Society of Cinematographers Outstanding Achievement Awards at the Grand Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland in Los Angeles on Feb. 13.
It was the first ASC Award for Delbonnel, who was also nominated for Amélie in 2002, another collaboration with director Jean-Pierre Jeunet. The film follows a French woman's dogged attempts to learn the fate of her fiance, who disappeared during World War I.
Nominees in the feature category were Dion Beebe ASC ACS and Paul Cameron for Collateral, Caleb Deschanel ASC for The Passion of the Christ, Pawel Edelman PSC for Ray, and Robert Richardson ASC for The Aviator.
Canadian Jonathan Freeman, a former CSC associate, Robbie Greenberg ASC and Nathan Hope claimed ASC Outstanding Achievement Awards in the three television categories. Greenberg claimed top honours for Iron Jawed Angels (HBO) in the cable movie competition. Freeman won for Homeland Security (NBC) in the competition for original movie for broadcast television. Hope won the episodic series competition for the segment "Down the Drain" of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (CBS).
Greenberg previously took top honours in the made-for-cable movie competition for Winchell in 1999 and Introducing Dorothy Dandridge in 2000. Freeman was nominated for Prince Street in the episodic TV competition in 1998, the telefilm Strange Justice in 1999, and the mini-series Taken in 2003. This was his first win. This was the first ASC nomination for Hope.
Fred Koenekamp ASC received the ASC Lifetime Achievement Award. The cinematographer compiled nearly 90 film credits during his career, which stretched over some 40 years. Koenekamp won an Oscar for The Towering Inferno in 1975. He also received nominations for Islands in the Stream and Patton.
The ASC also feted Gilbert Cates, who received the Board of Governors Award, which is presented annually to an individual who has made extraordinary and enduring contributions to advancing the art of filmmaking. It is the only annual award that ASC reserves for an individual who is not a cinematographer. The award was presented to Cates in recognition of his achievements as a producer and director, and for his many services to the industry.
The ASC International Achievement Award went to Tonino Delli Colli AIC. The legendary Italian cinematographer began his career at Cinecitta Studios in Rome in 1938 when he was 16 years old. He was a driving force in the birth and evolution of neorealist cinema in Italy during the mid-1940s and 1950s.
Delli Colli told the audience that neorealism was "a child of necessity." He explained that the defining characteristic of those films was that they were shot in real-life environments. "We used only ambient light and the light coming through windows as the starting point for photography."
Delli Colli compiled 137 credits over 60 years, including such classic films as The Name of the Rose, Once Upon a Time in the West, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in America and Life is Beautiful.
Film critic Leonard Maltin received the first-ever ASC Award of Distinction, and the President's Award went to Richard Moore ASC. Moore co-founded Panavision with Robert Gottschalk in 1954, and shared a technical Oscar for designing and developing a 65mm camera system. Moore later returned to cinematography, shooting such classic as The Reivers, Myra Breckenridge, Sometimes a Great Notion, The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean and Annie.
