Robert Eggers’ 'The Lighthouse' — starring Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe — was announced as an Academy Award nominee in the cinematography category on Monday morning.

With about 150 lights scattered along its dangerously ragged coastline, it boasts more lighthouses than any other province.

"The Lighthouse," the follow-up to director Robert Eggers' critically acclaimed 2015 feature "The Witch," features DaFoe and Pattinson as two lighthouse keepers stranded together in late 19th-century Maine.
