1. One single screenshot identifying the Academy Award winning film of that year in the absence of any other images significantly contributes to the article and illustrates the role and significance of that film in cinemtatic history.
2. No free or public domain images have been located for this film or indeed any films of that year.
3. The image is of lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
4. The image is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original film or affect the copyright holder in any way. The use of the image in that film history article is entirely encyclopedic in nature and is believed to enhance an understanding of film in that year in history.
5. The image is used on various websites, and its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible than it already is.

This image is a screenshot from a copyrighted film, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by the studio which produced the film, and possibly also by any actors appearing in the screenshot. It is believed that the use of a limited number of low-resolution screenshots
