What movie won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1976?
Patton (1970) won seven Academy Awards (Oscars): Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Film Editing, Best Sound, and Best Art Direction. George C. Scott famously refused to accept it, citing a dislike of the voting and even the actual concept of acting competition.

Patton (1970) was also nominated for Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects and Best Music, Original Score.
Virtually the entire film was shot in Spain. One scene, which depicts Patton driving up to an ancient city that is implied to be Carthage, was shot in the ancient Roman city of Volubilis, located in Morocco.

How does the cinematography positively affect your opinion of film?
Cinematography is basically like photographing a movie (you are using very similar artistic aspects when photographing and filming), except you are capturing it with moving images. Lighting, color, tone, clothing, mood, focal point, focus, camera placement, depth of field, and movement are all very important elements in cinematography. Cinematography is the aesthetics of a motion picture film - it's what you see with the eye.
Some of my favorite examples of beautiful cinematography can be seen in such films as: Atonement (2007), In the Mood for Love (2000), A Woman is a Woman (1961), Hiroshima Mon Amour (1959), 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Amelie (2001), and The Tree of Life (2011).
