Caleb Deschanel to receive Lifetime Achievement Award from American Society of Cinematographers

That is absolutely fantastic and VERY well-deserved. The man SHOULD have an Oscar for Black Stallion!

This is quite a list of movies to have received Oscar nominations for ...

Deschanel received Oscar nominations for his work on "The Right Stuff," "The Natural," "Fly Away Home," "The Patriot" and "The Passion of the Christ"; his most recent efforts include "National Treasure," "The Spiderwick Chronicles" and "My Sister's Keeper."

Congratulations!

It has been confirmed that the award presenters will be Emily and Zooey.

I seriously just had an "awww" moment. Do we have any idea when the ceremony is and if it's going to be televised?

aww so cute!!! I really hope we will have some video or pics at least...!

"Zeitgeist" I had to ask my husband what it meant: spirit of the times or spirit of the age. This is what they used to describe Emily and Zooey. I'd say that's a major compliment and I agree with it wholeheartedly. They are both so classy and not "Hollywood-esque" that it's so refreshing in these times of trashy, tabloid twits. Love those girls! Hope we get pics or even better, a vid of them presenting the award to their father.

That sentiment perfectly encapsulates what I love about Em, she's not a typical Hollywood starlet, she's a real, natural, no frills type of person.

Amen, Rob...amen.

Yeah, how special to receive that type of award and to have it be presented by your own daughters! I agree, the lovely Deschanel ladies are very refreshing in Hollywood.

I wanna see it!! I wonder if it's going to be televised or clips will be posted on youtube...

You are exactly correct, Toz!

This takes place today. Hopefully there will be some pictures of Emily and her family.

Hart tweeted that Emily will be giving a speech!

"I passed on everyone congrats to the Deschanels for Emily's Dad Caleb's Cinematography Award tonight. Emily is giving a speech for him!"

Yeah, Em & Zooey were supposed to be presenting the award to Caleb. Hopefully some footage ends up on YouTube at some stage - that would be adorable to watch!

Definitely would be cute to watch! I hope someone posts a video!

awww that would be so cute. apparently emily is afraid of public speaking. she said on some interview that it's worse than death lol i wonder if she'll be all emotional and nervous. love her. and love seeing her with her fam.

I just came across two short interviews with Emily and Zooey at the awards:

Thanks for the links. Love seeing the two of them together and laughed when they said the bit about their dad popping out of no where with a camera, and constantly hiding from it

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

First impressions: Wow, Emily looks a lot like her dad, while Zooey takes after her mom. Speaking of which, mom really is short isn't she?

Oh, and Emily looks absolutely stunning in that dress and I love the way she has her hair. It's sexy, playful and sophisticated. It made me want to thread my fingers in her hair and just...um, so anyway...yeah. I'll be outside with a cigarette if anyone needs me.

i too think she looks a lot like her dad and zooey looks like her mom. and yet emily and zooey also look alike lol i liked zooey's dress better than emily's for once, but that's okay. they both looked gorgeous. too bad there is no video of the actual speech!
