Best Picture – 1917

Simply put, Sam Mendes’ World War I drama, 1917, is exactly the type of cinema that audiences flock to theaters to watch. Just when you think you’ve seen all that you can from a war film, Mendes and cinematographer Roger Deakins take you on a breathtaking journey that is visually stunning, enthralling, and as immersive as one can get without the added technological gimmicks of 3D and environmental effects.
