Has Any Silent Film Ever Won An Academy Award?

Dale Spridgen

Hmm, I'm not quite sure, but I don't think any silent films have won an Academy Award in recent years. I mean, it makes sense, right? Silent films are a thing of the past, and the Academy Awards started recognizing films with sound pretty early on.

But then again, there were definitely some silent films that were popular enough to possibly have won awards back in the day. Like, have you ever heard of "Wings"? Apparently that was the first film to win Best Picture, and it was a silent film. So I guess technically that answers the question, right?

But then again, that was almost a hundred years ago, and things have definitely changed since then. So if we're talking about more recent times, I'm pretty confident in saying that no silent films have won an Academy Award. And honestly, I don't really see that changing anytime soon. I mean, who's making silent films these days anyway?

But who knows? Maybe someone will come along and revolutionize the art of silent film-making once again. Or maybe the Academy Awards will start recognizing silent films again as some sort of throwback trend. Anything is possible, I guess.

So to sum up, I'm not entirely sure if any silent films have won an Academy Award in the past, but it's definitely not a common occurrence these days.
