Burger Fiction has put together a beautiful video compiling clips from every film to have won best cinematography at the Academy Awards, from 1927 to 2015. It's not only great to see clips from these films but to watch how cinematography has evolved over the course of these 88 years of cinema (which included a time when there were two awards handed out to both films in color and black & white. Hit the jump to watch the best cinematography winner video now.

With the Academy Awards quickly approaching, one must wonder which film will join this legacy. Here is the list of the nominees for best cinematography for the year 2016:

My guess is it will either be La La Land or Arrival.
