We knew The Artist was a given, but with the ASC, past nominees are always more likely to repeat, so I'm surprised there are two first-timers, including TTSS which I didn't see coming at all.
It also suggests the film is gaining ground at the right time (Academy ballots are due this week) and with its Top Ten finish at the box office last weekend, it seems to be building word of mouth. For a film that a lot of people have said is confusing, that's a pretty fantastic thing.
Of course, I was surprised to learn that Janusz Kaminski has never won the ASC trophy. He seems like such an obvious choice for them.
