Hollywood's Cinematographers Name The
10 BEST PHOTOGRAPHED FILMS OF 1962
From among the ten, one black-and-white and one color film will be honored for Best Achievement in Photog¬ raphy by the Academy next month, and the Directors of Photography presented with “Oscars.”
By ARTHUR GAVIN
Tust as there’s no better judge of cooking than an experienced ** and dedicated chef or cook, it follows that the film industry’s cinematographers are eminently qualified to choose annually the year’s best photographed motion pictures — as they have been doing each year in naming their choice of five black-and-white and five color pictures as the Nominees for the Best Photographic Achieve¬ ment awards of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The ten films so selected logically may be considered the Ten Best Photographed Motion Pictures of the year, chosen as they are by the men who know cinematography best — Hollywood’s directors of photography.
The Nominees for the Academy’s “Oscar" awards for photo¬ graphic achievement were announced February 25th following a series of screenings and subsequent balloting by members of the Academy’s Cinematographers’ Branch. From among the ten films named, one black-and-white and one color picture will be voted “the best photographed” in a general balloting on all categories in the annual “Oscar” derby by the entire Academy membership this month. Presentation of awards will be made April 8th.
