This past Sunday,
The Shape of Water became the ninetieth motion picture to win the Best Picture Oscar. The expansive group of film that have won this award over the years include everything from a
Lord of The Rings movie to a musical adaptation of Oliver Twist to John Ford's
How Green Was My Valley. Surprisingly, amongst the ninety movies, only two of them are silent films. One of them,
The Artist, came out relatively recently in 2011 while you'll have to all the way back to the very first Academy Award ceremony to find the only other silent movie awarded the Best Picture ceremony. Yes, the very first Best Picture winner,
Wings, is the only other silent movie besides
The Artist to win this highly pretigious war.
