Best Picture. Best Director. Best Actress. Best Actor. Best Screenplay. Known as the Oscars’ “Big Five,” these categories garner the most buzz leading up to and during the ceremony. The Oscars’ Big Five should expand to include Best International Feature, highlighting films like It Was Just an Accident and The Voice of Hind Rajab.
