The Oscar arouse the interest of many moviegoers to see what movies are rewarded. Although the vast majority of which will be mentioned below have not been awarded a “gold statuette ‘, the truth is that there are films in cars, or at least cars capture an important part of that attention- they deserve recognition for their amazing scenes and, of course, the impressive cars that appear in them.

How could it be otherwise, we must make a distinction between two broad categories, since, as in Oscar, Here several awards must also deal.

The candidates for the Academy Award for Best Picture race cars are …

Mad Max: Road Rage (2015)

One of the latest action movies with lots of cars in between is the latest installment of Mad Max, inspired by the theme of the first three installments and improving clearly in terms of image quality and effects are concerned, since the film has evolved pleasantly since the first three films in the series were made, between the late 70’s and early 80’s. In this film inspired by the world of the future, great technologies and luxuries are not displayed, but a hostile and desert territory where you have water, gasoline, snuff or alcohol it is a luxury reserved for the few, leading to clashes. Many of the latter, with persecutions climbing adrenaline, with old cars ready for battle and forms that seem more of a show than real life.
