Voted for Ambersons although Mrs Miniver is almost as good.

The Black Swan was a worthy winner.

Best Cinematography 1942

Most conspicuous by their absence:

Cat People (NIcholas Musuraca); Random Harvest (Joseph Ruttenberg); Sullivan's Travels (John F. Seitz) and Yankee Doodle Dandy (James Wong Howe), all in black-and-white and all overlooked in favor of Take a Letter, Darling and Ten Gentlemen from West Point. At least Howe was nominated for Kings Row and Ruttenberg was nominated and won for Mrs. Miniver.

I voted for the winners - Mrs. Miniver and The Black Swan, but on another day might just as easily have voted for The Magnificent Ambersons and The Jungle Book instead.
