Video: Going back in time with the 'Best Picture' Oscar winners

As the Oscars are announced once again for another year, an enterprising video-maker has put together clips from all the "Best Picture" winners going back to the year "dot" in Oscar history. Sit back, relax and remember.


Digital Journal reported on the latest winners in the glitzy award ceremony held on Sunday night, with the Best Picture award going to "Argo."

There have been many excellent films in the past to win this prestigious award, and digital film maker/producer and editor Nelson Carvajal decided to put together a 4 minute video with clips from every single Best Picture Oscar winner since the start of the Oscars.

The first to hear those precious words "And the Best Picture Award goes to..." was William A. Wellman's "Wings" in 1927. The video ends with Michel Hazanavicius' "The Artist" from the award ceremony held last year.

Sit back and enjoy a brief introduction to all the "Best Pictures" in history. Apparently the music backing the video is "November" by Max Richter. How many of these wonderful films can you name?
