Vimeo user Nelson Carvajal created the following 4:09 minute video, which features a brief snippet from every single Best Picture Oscar winner from Wings to The Artists and everything in-between. He even added clips from this year’s nominees — Argo, Silver Linings Playbook, Lincoln, Les Miserables, Life of Pi, Zero Dark Thirty, Amour, Django Unchained and Beasts of the Southern Wild — at the end in prep for this Sunday’s, 2013 Oscar ceremony.
I am busy putting together my final predictions for this year’s ceremony and at this point I’m not sure there’s anything I’d change. I will be posting an article with all my predictions soon enough, but if you’d like to check them out, you can do so right here.
