Oscars 2014: 18 Sublime Moments That Define Best Picture Nominees

Those unforgettable moments that pushed these great movies into the Awards spotlight.

There are two types of good movies; those that are watched once and thoroughly enjoyed but immediately forgotten about, and those that leave audiences so far taken aback that they must endlessly hound their parents, relatives, friends, and pets to head on over to the cinema to check out what the fuss is about. Generally speaking, what pushes a movie over the edge into true greatness is that one special scene that lingers in your mind; that memorable scene that takes the acting, directing, writing, occasionally special effects to another level, and fires on all cylinders. It shouldn't come as a surprise, then, that all nine 2013 Best Picture nominated films have their own unforgettable moments; moments that win you over with a realization as to why the associated film received a nomination. Only this article will be going one step further, and selecting two sublime moments from every nominated film (they're each just as good as one another). Please be aware that there are spoilers ahead...
