The Oscars are this Sunday, and to celebrate 85 years of Hollywood self-love, editor Nelson Carvajal put together this supercut of all the Best Picture winners, from 1927′s Wings to last year’s The Artist. It’s actually chronological, even if it sounds alphabetical. As ThePlaylist notes, those are also the only two silent films ever to win. And expect another A movie to win this year, with Argo. Can you name all the movies in the supercut? If not, there’s always Wikipedia. Or the list I’ve included below.
Neither here nor there, but I think a good name for a silent porn star would be ‘Lilian Gash.’

Still waiting for “Schindler’s Fist”.
My friend once made a short called “Schindler’s Pissed” and it was just a shot of him tearing up a piece of paper.
I’m actually ok with the idea of silent porn films so long as I can still clearly see the despair and regret in the actress’ eyes.
Old-timey piano music, and every 15 seconds there’s just a dialogue card that reads:
*Despondent Sobbing*
That wasn’t so much a video as it was a poorly animated gif with an oscar bait soundtrack.
It’s a shoe in for the supercut Oscar then!
Ugh…thanks a lot for reminding me that both Crash and Million Dollar Baby won best picture. BLECH.
Also, I totally didn’t realize Platoon won as well.
Shakespeare In Love!!!! *bites own wrist open*
An auto-play video? Thank you so much. You really shouldn’t have.
Shit, I should’ve caught that. I hate autoplay videos so much. Fixed.
Annnnnnd Vince is back on top again.
I like how historical war movies have been winning Oscars since the very beginning… (pointy hat WWI trenches movies won in the first years of the awards!)
Thanks for sharing my video Vince!
Fucking Deer Hunter destroys me.
This supercut made me remember how awesome “The Lost Weekend” is. Holy shit.
