The Academy Award for Best Cinematography is an Academy Award awarded each year to a cinematographer for work in one particular motion picture. Floyd Crosby won the last Academy Award to go to a silent film for Tabu in 1931. Hal Mohr won the only write-in Academy Award ever, in 1935 for A Midsummer Night's Dream. Mohr was also the first person to win for both black and white and color cinematography.
