BAFTA win - Breakfast with a friend
The German World War I epic based on the classic novel won seven BAFTA Awards in 2023, including Best Film and Best Director and is nominated for a staggering nine Oscars. This "Shot for Shot" supercut compares the three definitive adaptations of 'All Quiet on the Western Front.' The 1930 version won Best Picture and Lewis Milestone won Best Director at the 1930 Academy Awards, while the 1979 TV Movie iteration won an Emmy Award for Editing. Will the 2022 film continue the award-winning streak?
