Academy Awards: Best Picture Oscar Winners from Nelson Carvajal on Vimeo.

To get you into the awards show spirit, here’s ~~alcohol~~ a montage of every single film to walk away with Best Picture, edited by Nelson Carvajal. (Though actually the first Oscars in 1929 had two Best Picture winners, one a general award and one for “Unique and Artistic Production,” which really says a lot about the current identity of the Oscars if you think about it… ah, sorry, my film nerdery ran away with me there).
