Live Poll: Technically, the Best Oscar Movies Ever

In nearly a century, only six movies have ever been nominated for an Oscar in all of the current technical categories: Cinematography, Film Editing, Visual Effects, Sound Mixing, Sound Editing (1963 to 2019), Production Design and Costume Design.

Which movie nominated for an Oscar in every technical category is the best, technically speaking of course?

Beginning with the 93rd Academy Awards, Best Sound Editing was combined with Best Sound Mixing into a single award for Best Sound.

I wonder why makeup is not considered one of the technical awards.

Well, they say 'make up artist', don't they? That reminds me of that 'glamour technician' term in Steel Magnolias...

Maybe because some arts need a scientific way to be carried on and can be called 'technical' and some technical works need a more artistic approach and are then defined as arts...

I gotta think Production Design and Costume Design should fall into the same situation requiring equal parts technical skill and artistic talent. Likewise, you could probably make the same arguement that in order to excell in painting and cinematography you need to master both the technical aspects and artistic aspects. Yet, most people percieve one more artistic than the other.
