Over the years the Academy Award for Best Picture has changed in subtle ways – most notably in regards to name and number of nominees – but the overarching goal through the decades has been to reward the strongest film in that year’s cinema. The Best Picture Academy Award is, in essence, the most important award of the entire night because it recognizes every outstanding element (directing, cinematography, acting) of that year’s winner. So, as they say at the awards, without further ado let’s take a look at five films which won the Best Picture Academy Award. We still look through Comcast for these movies On Demand, they continue to stand out to this day for their cinematic and cultural achievements.
Titanic - This best picture winner from 1997 melds epic romance with historical events surrounding the 1912 epic cruise ship crash that killed thousands while traversing the Atlantic Ocean. The movie’s two lead actors, Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet, are involved in an increasingly tempestuous love affair that defies class rankings and convention. Titanic was the critic’s favorite going into the 1997 Academy Awards, but the critics and public alike were surprised when Titanic became the first film to reward the same man (James Cameron: Titanic‘s director) with the awards for best picture, best director, best producer, best writer and best editor. The 70th Academy Awards marked the first time in which this feat had been accomplished. The film actually picked up eleven awards total, and perhaps justified its titanic budget.
The Hurt Locker - Any person who has seen this 2008 Iraq War dramatization of a three man strong bomb disposal squad and not felt at least slightly anxious may need to check his or her pulse. The film was credited by Iraq War veterans as being an extremely accurate depiction of combat, both the good and the bad aspects, but that’s maybe not what it’s most remembered for today. The Hurt Locker was the first and only time that a woman director, in this case Kathryn Bigelow, was rewarded with the Best Picture. You can check out her moving speech on YouTube or, better yet, grab some popcorn and watch the entire film on Comcast today.
The Silence of the Lambs - This 1991 film is adapted from a spellbinding Thomas Harris thriller of the same name. This bone chilling flick gave viewers a look into the mind of one of the most memorable villains, Hannibal Lecter. The Silence of the Lambs picked up 5 Oscars wins, including: Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Director.
