Summary:
"They make you laugh. Or cry. They often make you think. You could find yourself singing - or screaming! And you might just be inspired to change something around you. We love films because they touch us. And most of all, we love films that we know have touched others. In celebration of the 80th anniversary of a tradition that recognizes great cinema - the ACADEMY AWARDSʼ - here are five Best Picture OSCARʼ Winners* in one extraordinary collection.".
