As the Academy Awards are only a few days away, it is time to test your film knowledge with a special Oscar edition of I Have Scene It Before. In our December edition only 11 of the 21 films were identified. The films that proved challenging were: Oscar nominee Theeb (#1), The Canadian black comedy Guidance (#3), the documentary Ballet 422 (#4), Sean Baker’s Tangerine (#5), Oscar nominee Winter on Fire: Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom (#6), the Sarah Silverman film I Smile Back (#8), Kornél Mundruczó’s White God (#11), Lisandro Alonso’s Jauja (#14), Oscar nominee Cartel Land (#17) and the dramedy Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (#20). In comparison, this month should be a cakewalk for you Academy Awards aficionados.

Below you will find this edition’s selection of films scenes, your job is to simply identify as many films as possible. It is highly recommended that you submit your guesses prior to seeing what other readers have submitted. Remember just because someone has made a guess does not necessarily mean that it is right. How many of the following Oscar nominated works can you identify?
