The last black and white movie to win the Academy Award for Best Picture was "The Artist", released in 2011.
This French silent film, directed by Michel Hazanavicius, tells the story of a silent film star who faces obsolescence with the advent of talking pictures. It was a critical and commercial success, winning five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Actor for Jean Dujardin.
The Artist's triumph at the Oscars marked a significant moment in film history. It was a testament to the enduring power of silent cinema and a reminder that even in a world dominated by color and sound, there is still a place for the timeless beauty of black and white.
