The '''Academy Award for Best Cinematography''' is an [[Academy Awards|Academy Award]] awarded each year to a [[cinematographer]] for work on one particular [[film|motion picture]].
==History==
[[File:CharlesRosher.jpg|thumb|right|280px|[[Charles Rosher]], the first recipient in 1928]]
In its first film season, 1927–28, this award (like others such as the acting awards) was not tied to a specific film; all of the work by the nominated cinematographers during the qualifying period was listed after their names. The problem with this system became obvious the first year, since [[Karl Struss]] and [[Charles Rosher]] were nominated for their work together on ''[[Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans|Sunrise]].'' Still, three other films shot individually by either Rosher or Struss were also listed as part of the nomination. In the second year, 1929, there were no nominations at all, although the Academy has a list of unofficial titles that were under consideration by the Board of Judges. In the third year, 1930, films, not cinematographers, were nominated, and the final award did not show the cinematographer's name.
Finally, for the 1931 awards, the modern system in which individuals are nominated for a single film was adopted in all profession-related categories. From 1939 to 1966 with the exception of 1957, there were also separate awards for color and black-and-white cinematography. After ''[[Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (film)|Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?]]'' (1966), the most recent black-and-white films to win since then are ''[[Schindler's List]]'' (1993), ''[[Roma (2018 film)|Roma]]'' (2018) and ''[[Mank]]'' (2020).
[[Floyd Crosby]] won the award for ''[[Tabu: A Story of the South Seas|Tabu]]'' in 1931, which was the last silent film to win in this category. [[Hal Mohr]] won the only write-in Academy Award ever, in 1935 for ''[[A Midsummer Night's Dream (1935 film)|A Midsummer Night's Dream]]''. Mohr was also the first person to win for both black-and-white and color cinematography.
No winners are [[lost film|lost]], although some of the earliest nominees (and of the unofficial nominees of 1928–29) are lost, including ''[[The Devil Dancer]]'' (1927), ''[[The Magic Flame]]'' (1927), and ''[[4 Devils]]'' (1928). ''[[The Right to Love (1930 American film)|The Right to Love]]'' (1930) is incomplete, and ''[[Sadie Thompson (film)|Sadie Thompson]]'' (1927) is incomplete and partially reconstructed with stills.
[[David Lean]] holds the record for the director with the most films that won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography at the Oscars with five wins out of six nominations for ''[[Great Expectations (1946 film)|Great Expectations]]'', ''[[The Bridge on the River Kwai]]'', ''[[Lawrence of Arabia (film)|Lawrence of Arabia]]'', ''[[Doctor Zhivago (film)|Doctor Zhivago]]'', and ''[[Ryan's Daughter]]''.
The first nominees shot primarily on [[digital video]] were ''[[The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (film)|The Curious Case of Benjamin Button]]'' and ''[[Slumdog Millionaire]]'' in 2009, with ''Slumdog Millionaire'' being the first winner.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://digitalfilms.wordpress.com/2009/01/24/oscar-nominations/|title=Oscar nominations|date=24 January 2009}}</ref> The following year, ''[[Avatar (2009 film)|Avatar]]'' was the first nominee and winner to be shot entirely on digital video.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://filmschoolrejects.com/features/oscar-breakdown-best-cinematography.php |title=Oscar Breakdown: Best Cinematography |access-date=2014-04-25 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140425053422/http://filmschoolrejects.com/features/oscar-breakdown-best-cinematography.php |archive-date=2014-04-25 }}</ref>
In January 2017, [[Bradford Young]] became the first African-American cinematographer to be nominated for an Academy Award, for his work on ''Arrival''.
In 2018, [[Rachel Morrison]] became the first woman to receive a nomination.<ref>[https://www.oscars.org/oscars/ceremonies/2018 2018|Oscars.org]</ref> Prior to that, it had been the last non-acting Academy Award category to never nominate a woman.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.indiewire.com/article/8-female-cinematographers-you-should-know-about-20141104/|title=8 Female Cinematographers You Should Know About|last=Bernstein|first=Paula|date=2014-11-04|work=IndieWire|access-date=2018-01-25|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://variety.com/2018/film/in-contention/oscars-first-female-cinematographer-mudbound-cinematographer-rachel-morrison-1202673355/|title=Oscars: 'Mudbound's' Rachel Morrison Makes History as First Female Cinematographer Nominee|last=Tapley|first=Kristopher|date=2018-01-23|work=Variety|access-date=2018-01-25|language=en-US}}</ref>
In 2019, [[Alfonso Cuarón]] became the first winner of this category to have also served as director on the film, for ''[[Roma (2018 film)|Roma]]''.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.indiewire.com/2019/02/roma-alfonso-cuaron-wins-oscar-best-cinematography-1202046563/ |title=Director Alfonso Cuaron Wins Best Cinematography Oscar for 'Roma |last=O'Falt |first=Chris |date=Feb 24, 2019 |website=IndieWire |access-date=Feb 25, 2019}}</ref> This followed a public dispute between Cuarón and the Academy over the Academy's plan to shorten the Oscars broadcast by relegating four awards, including cinematography, to the commercial breaks in the show. Cuarón objected by saying, "In the history of cinema, masterpieces have existed without sound, without color, without a story, without actors and without music. No single film has ever existed without cinematography ..."<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/miranda/la-et-mn-oscars-roma-20190225-story.html | title=How Alfonso Cuarón's 'Roma' Oscars spark a dialogue about the faces we see on-screen | author-first=Carolina A. | author-last=Miranda | newspaper=Los Angeles Times | date=February 25, 2019}}</ref>
