If you still see movies at the theater despite the cost and despite your grumblings that Hollywood has no original ideas, perhaps you do so because there's nothing quite like seeing a film on the big screen. For that you can thank, in part, the folks below.

The American Society of Cinematographers announced its nominees for the 26th annual ASC Awards on Wednesday.

The nominated cinematographers are Guillaume Schiffman for "The Artist," Jeff Cronenweth for "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," Robert Richardson for "Hugo," Hoyte van Hoytema for "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" and Emmanuel Lubezki for "The Tree of Life."

The awards are handed out Feb. 12 and more often than not serve as an indicator of who will be nominated for an Academy Award.

Check out the trailers again for all five films. And if you've seen any of them or have a hunch about which has the most compelling look, take part in our vote below.
