The honour is endued upon an individual "whose body of work has made noteworthy and ineradicable contributions to cinema," the ASC said in a statement. It is the only ASC Award not given to a cinematographer and is reserved for filmmakers who have been champions for directors of photography and the visual art form,

ASC president Kees van Oostrum said that"Jeff Bridges is an extraordinary talent on the screen and also a remarkable person offscreen. He is beloved by many for his achievements as an outstanding Oscar-winning actor,"

Further added that "We at the ASC feel like Jeff is one of us because he shares our passion for creating artful imagery through his still photography. We are incredibly honoured to present him with our Board of Governors Award,"

The actor was most recently felicitated with the Cecil B DeMille honour at the 76th annual Golden Globe Awards. He also won the Oscar for Best Actor in 2010 for his performance as country music singer-songwriter Otis "Bad" Blake in "Crazy Heart" (2009).
