The Artist pays homage to Hollywood's silent era

[dipsydoodle]

The Artist is a modern homage to Hollywood's silent era. But how much does it reflect the real silent movies of the period, and could it be the first silent film to win an Oscar in 83 years?

For a silent movie, The Artist is creating a lot of noise.

A glance at the early Oscar predictions for 2012 shows the The Artist on almost every wish list. Some in Tinseltown are already tipping it to win best picture.

What makes The Artist unusual is that it is a 21st Century movie which looks like it was made in 1927. Modern audiences used to 3D, CGI and widescreen must acclimatise to its quaint aspect ratio, monochrome look and lack of dialogue.
