The video ends with the nominees for 2017’s Academy Award – Arrival, La La Land, Lion, Moonlight, and Silence – each proof that this year’s competition is particularly tough, particularly between Oscar favourites Moonlight and La La Land.
The video is also a reminder that, between 1939 – 1967, the Academy actually handed out two cinematography awards each year: one for films in colour, and one for films in black and white.
Everyone has those images, those cinematic moments burnt into their memory: strange, beautiful, ethereal, unforgettable.
After the two categories were once more merged into one, the only black and white film to win so far was 1993’s Schindler’s List.
