March 20, 2021
In the final episode in their journey through past Best Picture winners, Pierre and Jeff circle back to one year after The King’s Speech to review 2011’s most awarded movie!
In 2011, The Artist made history as the first silent movie to win Best Picture since Wings at the very first-ever Oscars, as well as the first time a French actor would win the coveted Best Actor in a Leading Role award. Directed by Michel Hazanavicius, The Artist is a feature-length celebration of Old Hollywood through the eyes of silent film star George Valentin! As “talkies” become increasingly popular, Valentin learns that his days in Hollywood are numbered. But with the silent film era now decades behind us, were The Artist‘s days numbered from the start?
Tune in to this week’s episode of Classic Movies Live! to find out!
