This is nit-picky but you're probably actually referring to Cinematographers, or Directors of Photography. They're the ones who deal with the actual cameras, lens, use of light, etc. Directors deal with the actors and the script/writer.
The reason we give them awards is that the camera can't tell you which lens will give you the effect you want or how to emphasize certain emotions with light.
