Annie Hall
One of my all time favorite movies, very glad it was nominated. I just love everything about this, the acting from Woody Allen and especially Diane Keaton is phenomenal, and the script is great. Woody Allen is at his best writing here, with an absolutely sparkling screenplay, hilarious yet not goofy, entertaining but intellectual.
The premise involves Alvy Singer (Woody Allen) and his complicated relationship with Annie Hall (Diane Keaton). One of the most memorable things about this movie is its style and structure. It's so completely bizarre but works very well. We get animated segments (from Snow White of all things!), plus flashbacks, breaking the fourth wall, and much more. Woody just pushes the boundaries of each new technique, and makes it fresh, original, and entertaining throughout. We also get a non-linear structure, one that bounces back and forth between the ongoing plot and the events leading up to it.
Cinematography and music aren't anything too special, but they work quite well the film. And I love both characters, they are extremely likable yet also believable. Nothing really I can complain about with this movie, so I'll go ahead and give it a:
