The '''Academy Award for Best Picture''' is one of the ] (also known as Oscars) presented annually by the ] (AMPAS) since the awards debuted in 1929.

The '''Academy Award for Best Picture''' is one of the ] presented annually by the ] (AMPAS) to artists working in the ] industry. The Best Picture category is the only category in which every member of the Academy is eligible not only to vote on the final ballot, but also to nominate. During the annual Academy Awards ceremony, Best Picture is reserved as the final award presented and, since 1951, is collected at the podium by the film's producers. The Academy Award for Best Motion Picture is considered the most important of the Academy Awards, as it is the final award presented, and represents all the directing, acting, music composing and writing efforts put forth for a film. The Grand Staircase columns at the ] in ], where the Academy Awards ceremonies have been held since 2002, showcase every film that has won the Best Picture title since the award's inception 83 years ago. On June 14, 2011, AMPAS announced that the number of nominees would vary between five and ten films starting with the ], provided that the film earned 5% of first-place votes during the nomination process.<ref name="5to10">{{cite web|url=http://www.deadline.com/2011/06/oscar-academy-builds-surprise-into-best-picture-race/|title=OSCAR SHOCKER!

===Category name changes===
At the ] ceremony (for ] and ]), there was no Best Picture award. Instead, there were two separate awards, one called Most Outstanding Production, won by the epic '']'', and one called ], won by the art film '']''. The awards were intended to honor different and equally important aspects of superior filmmaking, and in fact the judges and the studio bosses who sought to influence their decisions paid more attention to the latter - ] head ], who had disliked the realism of ]'s '']'', another of the nominees (the third was ] and ]'s '']'') pressured the judges not to honor his own studio's film, and to select ''Sunrise'' instead. The next year, the Academy instituted a single award called Best Production, and decided retroactively that the award won by ''Wings'' had been the equivalent of that award, with the result that ''Wings'' is often listed as the winner of a sole Best Picture award for the first year. The title of the award was eventually changed to Best Picture for the 1931 awards.
At the ] ceremony held in 1929 (for films made in 1927 and 1928), there were two categories of awards that were each considered the top award of the night: "Outstanding Picture" and "Unique and Artistic Picture", the former being won by the war epic '']'', and the latter by the art film '']''. Each award was intended to honor different and equally important aspects of superior filmmaking. In particular, '']'' was disqualified from both awards, since its use of ] made the film a '']'' item that would have unfairly competed against either category, and the Academy granted the film an honorary award instead.<ref>{{cite book | last1 = Block | first1 = Alex Ben | last2 = Wilson | first2 = Lucy Autrey | title = George Lucas's Blockbusting: A Decade-by-Decade Survey of Timeless Movies Including Untold Secrets of Their Financial and Cultural Success | publisher = HarperCollins | location = New York | year = 2010 | isbn = 978-0-06-177889-6 | url = https://archive.org/details/georgelucassbloc00alex |pages=110–113}}</ref>


The following year, the Academy dropped the ''Unique and Artistic Picture'' award, deciding retroactively that the award won by ''Wings'' was the highest honor that could be awarded, and allowed synchronized sound films to compete for the award.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/326478/Sunrise-A-Song-of-Two-Humans/articles.html|title=Why SUNRISE: A SONG OF TWO HUMANS is Essential|publisher=Turner Classic Movies|access-date=May 24, 2012|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120405101632/http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/326478/Sunrise-A-Song-of-Two-Humans/articles.html|archive-date=April 5, 2012}}</ref> Although the award kept the title ''Outstanding Picture'' for the next ceremony, the name underwent several changes over the years, as seen below. Since 1962, the award has been simply called ''Best Picture''.<ref name="data"/>
From 1944 to 2008, the Academy restricted nominations to five Best Picture nominees per year. As of the ] ceremony (for ]), there have been 485 films nominated for the Best Picture award. Invariably, the Academy Awards for Best Picture and ] have been very closely linked throughout their history. Of the 83 films that have been awarded Best Picture, 61 have also been awarded Best Director. Only three films have won Best Picture without their directors being nominated (though only one since the early 1930s): '']'' (1927/28), '']'' (1931/32), and '']'' (1989). The only two Best Director winners to win for films which did not receive a Best Picture nomination are likewise in the early years: ] (1927/28) and ] (1928/29).


* ]–]: Academy Award for Outstanding Picture
On June 24, 2009, AMPAS announced that the number of films nominated in the Best Picture award category would increase from five to ten, starting with the ] (]).<ref name="10noms">{{cite news | author=Joyce Eng | title=Oscar Expands Best Picture Race to 10 Nominees | url=http://www.tvguide.com/Movie-News/Oscar-Expands-Best-1007223.aspx | work=TV Guide Online | date=24 June 2009 | accessdate=2009-06-24}}</ref> The expansion was a throwback to the Academy's early years in the 1930s and 1940s, when anywhere between eight and 12 films were shortlisted (or longlisted). "Having 10 Best Picture nominees is going to allow Academy voters to recognize and include some of the fantastic movies that often show up in the other Oscar categories but have been squeezed out of the race for the top prize," AMPAS President Sid Ganis said in a press conference. "I can't wait to see what that list of 10 looks like when the nominees are announced in February."<ref name="10noms" /> At the same time, the voting system was switched from ] to ] (also known as Instant Run-off Vote).<ref>, Rob Richie, Huffington Post, 16 February 2011</ref>

===Recipients===
One point of contention is the lack of consideration of non-] films for categories other than ]. Very few foreign language films have been nominated for any other categories, regardless of artistic merit. To date, only eight foreign language films (and three partly foreign language films) have been nominated for Best Picture: '']'' (French, 1938); '']'' (French, 1969); '']'' (Swedish, 1972); '']'' (Swedish, 1973); '']'' (Italian/Spanish, 1995); '']'' (Italian, 1998); '']'' (], 2000); and '']'' (Japanese, 2006), which was ineligible for the Best Foreign Language Oscar because it was an American production. The only partly foreign language films to win Best Picture are '']'' (English/Sicilian, 1974), '']'' (English/Mandarin, 1987) and '']'' (English/Hindi, 2008).
Until 1950, this award was presented to a representative of the production company. That year the protocol was changed so that the award was presented to all credited producers. This rule was modified in 1999 to apply a maximum limit of three producers receiving the award, after the five producers of '']'' had received the award.<ref name="Associated Press">{{cite news|url=https://www.smh.com.au/news/Oscars-2005/Who-gets-the-Oscar/2005/02/03/1107409980177.html|title=Who gets the Oscar?|agency=Associated Press|date=February 4, 2005|work=Sydney Morning Herald|access-date=October 23, 2013|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924194423/http://www.smh.com.au/news/Oscars-2005/Who-gets-the-Oscar/2005/02/03/1107409980177.html|archive-date=September 24, 2015}}</ref><ref name="bbc1408671">{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/1408671.stm|title=Academy restricts Oscar winners|date=June 26, 2001|publisher=BBC|access-date=October 23, 2013|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131214183006/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/1408671.stm|archive-date=December 14, 2013}}</ref><ref name="McNary2008">{{cite journal |last=McNary |first=Dave |date=January 21, 2008 |title=PGA avoids credit limit |journal=Variety |url=https://variety.com/2008/film/news/pga-avoids-credit-limit-1117979406/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131024204140/http://variety.com/2008/film/news/pga-avoids-credit-limit-1117979406/ |archive-date=October 24, 2013 }}</ref>


{{as of|2020}}, the "Special Rules for the Best Picture of the Year Award" limit recipients to those who meet two main requirements:<ref name="rule16">{{cite web| url= https://www.oscars.org/sites/oscars/files/92aa_rules.pdf| title= 92ND ACADEMY AWARDS OF MERIT|publisher= Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences | year= 2019 | access-date=April 26, 2020|page=23 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190424163237/https://www.oscars.org/sites/oscars/files/92aa_rules.pdf | archive-date=April 24, 2019 | url-status=live }}</ref>
Another point of contention is the recent extreme bias toward 2-plus hour films: ''Crash'' (2005, 112m) is the shortest film to win Best Picture in the past 20 years. It has been criticized for ignoring films that were huge commercial and critical successes. Furthermore, no animated film has won the award (Disney's '']'' and Disney-Pixar's '']'' and '']'' were nominated); no science fiction film has won despite a number of successful nominees; and only one comedy ('']'', 1998) has won in the last 30 years.
* Those with ] of "producer" or "produced by", explicitly excluding those with the screen credit "executive producer, co-producer, associate producer, line producer, or produced in association with"
* those three or fewer producers who have performed the major portion of the producing functions
The rules allow a {{lang|la|bona fide}} team of not more than two people to be considered a single "producer" if the two individuals have had an established producing partnership as determined by the ] Producing Partnership Panel. Final determination of the qualifying producer nominees for each nominated picture will be made by the Producers Branch Executive Committee, including the right to name any additional qualified producer as a nominee.<ref name="rule16"/>


The Academy can make exceptions to the limit, as when ] and ] were posthumously included among the four producers nominated for '']''.<ref name="Yamato">{{cite web|url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/10009498-reader/news/1793050/academy_makes_exceptions_for_pollack_minghella/ |title=Academy Makes Exceptions for Pollack, Minghella Does this mean more Oscar sympathy for surprise nominee The Reader? |last=Yamato |first=Jen |date=January 27, 2009 |work=Rotten Tomatoes |access-date=October 18, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131027072805/http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/10009498-reader/news/1793050/academy_makes_exceptions_for_pollack_minghella/ |archive-date=October 27, 2013}}</ref> {{as of|2014}} the Producers Branch Executive Committee determines such exceptions, noting they take place only in "rare and extraordinary circumstance."<ref name="rule16"/>
To date, eleven films exclusively financed outside the United States have won Best Picture; all eleven were financed, in part or in whole, by the United Kingdom. Those films were, in chronological order: '']'', '']'', '']'', '']'', '']'', '']'', '']'', '']'', '']'', '']'' and '']''


] currently holds the record for most nominations at thirteen, winning one, while ] holds the record for most nominations without a win at eight. ] and ] tie for the most wins with three each. As for the time when the Oscar was given to production companies instead, ] holds the record with five wins and 40 nominations.
No Best Picture winner has been ], though a few such as '']'' and '']'' exist only in a form altered from their original, award-winning release form, usually due to editing for reissue (and subsequently partly restored by archivists). Other winners and nominees such as '']'' and '']'' are widely available only in subsequently altered versions. The 1928 film '']'' is the only Best Picture nominee that is lost; '']'' was believed lost for many years but a print existed in producer ]' archives and it has since been shown on ]. ''Wings'' and ''Sunrise'' were the only silent winners of a Best Picture-equivalent award, although a part-silent version of ''All Quiet on the Western Front'' was created for foreign-language release and survives. ''The Patriot'' was the last silent nominee (other than the silent version of a nominated talkie) until 2011's ''].

===Best Picture and Best Director===
The Academy Awards for Best Picture and ] have been closely linked throughout their history. Of the 96 films that have won Best Picture, 69 have also been awarded Best Director. Only six films have been awarded Best Picture without receiving a Best Director nomination: '']'' directed by ] (1927/28), '']'' directed by ] (1931/32), '']'' directed by ] (1989), '']'' directed by ] (2012), '']'' directed by ] (2018), and '']'' directed by ] (2021). The only two Best Director winners to win for films that did not receive a Best Picture nomination were during the early years of the awards: ] for '']'' (1927/28), and ] for '']'' (1928/29).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.filmsite.org/bestdirs1.html|title=Best Director Facts – Trivia (Part 2)|publisher=Filmsite|access-date=November 13, 2009|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090901210327/http://www.filmsite.org/bestdirs1.html|archive-date=September 1, 2009}}</ref>

For the first ceremony, three films were nominated for the award. For the following three years, five films were nominated for the award.

This number remained until 2010, when it was once again raised to ten.

Note 1: Until the ] (]), Best Picture was awarded to the studio that produced the film. Beginning with the ] (]), however, it has been awarded to the individual producers credited on the film. Note also that until 1943, there were ten (rather than five) nominated films per year. As of 2009, there are once again ten nominated films. The first year in which multiple individuals jointly won was 1973, with three winners for '']''. The greatest number of joint winners was five, for '']'' in 1998.

Note 2: It remains a very close call — a tie, virtually — between the top two "longest" Best Pictures. The total film time (without music) of ''Gone with the Wind'' (1939) is almost 221 minutes (3 hours and 41 minutes); with the Overture, Intermission, Entr'acte, and Walkout Music, it reaches 234 minutes (3 hours and 54 minutes). The total film time (without music) of the original ''Lawrence of Arabia'' (1962) is just over 222 minutes (3 hours and 42 minutes), slightly longer than ''Gone with the Wind''. ''Lawrence of Arabia''{{'}}s additional elements extend the film to about 232 minutes (3 hours and 52 minutes). If just counting the film itself, ''Lawrence of Arabia'' is the longest of the two contenders. The other longest Best Picture winners are, in order: ''Ben-Hur'' (1959) at 212 minutes (3 hours and 32 minutes) and ''The Lord of Rings: Return of the King'' (2003) at 201 minutes (3 hours and 21 minutes). However, the Extended Edition of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, which was released almost a year after the shorter theatrical version of the film won Best Picture, runs 251 minutes (4 hours and 12 minutes).

Note 3: The longest film to ever win any Academy Award was Russia's ] at 414 minutes (6 hours and 54 minutes), winner of Best Foreign Language Film.

Note 4: After ''Marty'', the second shortest Best Picture winner is ''Annie Hall'' (1977) at 93 minutes (1 hour and 33 minutes).

The Academy Award for Best Picture is one of the Academy Awards (also known as Oscars) presented annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) since the awards debuted in 1929. This award goes to the producers of the film and is the only category in which every member of the Academy is eligible to submit a nomination and vote on the final ballot. The Best Picture category is traditionally the final award of the night and is widely considered the most prestigious honor of the ceremony.

The Grand Staircase columns at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, where the Academy Awards ceremonies have been held since 2002, showcase every film that has won the Best Picture title since the award's inception. There have been 601 films nominated for Best Picture and 96 winners.

History

Category name changes

At the 1st Academy Awards ceremony held in 1929 (for films made in 1927 and 1928), there were two categories of awards that were each considered the top award of the night: "Outstanding Picture" and "Unique and Artistic Picture", the former being won by the war epic Wings, and the latter by the art film Sunrise. Each award was intended to honor different and equally important aspects of superior filmmaking. In particular, The Jazz Singer was disqualified from both awards, since its use of synchronized sound made the film a sui generis item that would have unfairly competed against either category, and the Academy granted the film an honorary award instead.

The following year, the Academy dropped the Unique and Artistic Picture award, deciding retroactively that the award won by Wings was the highest honor that could be awarded, and allowed synchronized sound films to compete for the award. Although the award kept the title Outstanding Picture for the next ceremony, the name underwent several changes over the years, as seen below. Since 1962, the award has been simply called Best Picture.

  • 1927/28–1928/29: Academy Award for Outstanding Picture
  • 1929/30–1940: Academy Award for Outstanding Production
  • 1941–1943: Academy Award for Outstanding Motion Picture
  • 1944–1961: Academy Award for Best Motion Picture
  • 1962–present: Academy Award for Best Picture

Recipients

Until 1950, this award was presented to a representative of the production company. That year the protocol was changed so that the award was presented to all credited producers. This rule was modified in 1999 to apply a maximum limit of three producers receiving the award, after the five producers of Shakespeare in Love had received the award.

As of 2020, the "Special Rules for the Best Picture of the Year Award" limit recipients to those who meet two main requirements:

  • Those with screen credit of "producer" or "produced by", explicitly excluding those with the screen credit "executive producer, co-producer, associate producer, line producer, or produced in association with"
  • those three or fewer producers who have performed the major portion of the producing functions

The rules allow a bona fide team of not more than two people to be considered a single "producer" if the two individuals have had an established producing partnership as determined by the Producers Guild of America Producing Partnership Panel. Final determination of the qualifying producer nominees for each nominated picture will be made by the Producers Branch Executive Committee, including the right to name any additional qualified producer as a nominee.

The Academy can make exceptions to the limit, as when Anthony Minghella and Sydney Pollack were posthumously included among the four producers nominated for The Reader. As of 2014 the Producers Branch Executive Committee determines such exceptions, noting they take place only in "rare and extraordinary circumstance."

Steven Spielberg currently holds the record for most nominations at thirteen, winning one, while Kathleen Kennedy holds the record for most nominations without a win at eight. Sam Spiegel and Saul Zaentz tie for the most wins with three each. As for the time when the Oscar was given to production companies instead, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer holds the record with five wins and 40 nominations.

Best Picture and Best Director

The Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director have been closely linked throughout their history. Of the 96 films that have won Best Picture, 69 have also been awarded Best Director. Only six films have been awarded Best Picture without receiving a Best Director nomination: Wings directed by William A. Wellman (1927/28), Grand Hotel directed by Edmund Goulding (1931/32), Driving Miss Daisy directed by Bruce Beresford (1989), Argo directed by Ben Affleck (2012), Green Book directed by Peter Farrelly (2018), and CODA directed by Sian Heder (2021). The only two Best Director winners to win for films that did not receive a Best Picture nomination were during the early years of the awards: Lewis Milestone for Two Arabian Knights (1927/28), and Frank Lloyd for The Divine Lady (1928/29).

Nomination limit increased

On June 24, 2009, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) announced that the number of films to be nominated in the Best Picture award category would increase from 5 to 10, starting with the 82nd Academy Awards (2009). Although the Academy never officially said so, many commenters noted the expansion was likely in part a response to public criticism of The Dark Knight and WALL-E (both 2008) (and, in previous years, other blockbusters and popular films) not being nominated for Best Picture. Officially, the Academy said the rule change was a throwback to the Academy's early years in the 1930s and 1940s, when 8 to 12 films were nominated each year. "Having 10 Best Picture nominees is going to allow Academy voters to recognize and include some of the fantastic movies that often show up in the other Oscar categories but have been squeezed out of the race for the top prize," AMPAS President Sid Ganis said in a press conference. "I can't wait to see what that list of 10 looks like when the nominees are announced in February."

At the same time, the voting system was switched from first-past-the-post to instant runoff voting (also known as preferential voting). In 2011, the Academy revised the rule again so that the number of films nominated was between 5 and 10; nominated films must earn either 5% of first-place rankings or 5% after an abbreviated variation of the single transferable vote nominating process. Bruce Davis, the Academy executive director at the time, said, "A Best Picture nomination should be an indication of extraordinary merit. If there are only eight pictures that truly earn that honor in a given year, we shouldn't feel an obligation to round out the number." This system lasted until 2021, when the Academy reverted back to a set number of ten nominees from the 94th Academy Awards onward.

Language and country of origin

Seventeen non-English language films have been nominated in the category: La Grande Illusion (French, 1938); Z (French, 1969); The Emigrants (Swedish, 1972); Cries and Whispers (Swedish, 1973); The Postman (Il Postino) (Italian/Spanish, 1995); Life Is Beautiful (Italian, 1998); Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Mandarin Chinese, 2000); Letters from Iwo Jima (Japanese, 2006, but ineligible for Best Foreign Language Film because it was an American production); Amour (French, 2012); Roma (Spanish/Mixtec, 2018); Parasite (Korean, 2019); Minari (Korean, 2020, but ineligible for Best International Feature Film because it was an American production); Drive My Car (Japanese/Korean/Mandarin Chinese/German/Korean Sign Language, 2021), All Quiet on the Western Front (German, 2022), Anatomy of a Fall (French, 2023), Past Lives (Korean, 2023, but ineligible for Best International Feature Film because it was an American production), and The Zone of Interest (German/Polish/Yiddish, 2023). Parasite became the first film not in English to win Best Picture.

Ten films wholly financed outside the United States have won Best Picture, eight of which were financed, in part or in whole, by the United Kingdom: Hamlet (1948), Tom Jones (1963), A Man for All Seasons (1966), Chariots of Fire (1981), Gandhi (1982), The Last Emperor (1987), Slumdog Millionaire (2008), and The King's Speech (2010). The ninth film, The Artist (2011), was financed in France, and the tenth film, Parasite (2019), was financed in South Korea.

Rating

Since 1968, most Best Picture winners have been rated R under the Motion Picture Association's rating system. Oliver! is the only G-rated film and Midnight Cowboy is the only X-rated film (what is categorized as an NC-17 film today), so far, to win Best Picture; they won in back-to-back years, 1968 and 1969. The latter has since been changed to an R rating. Eleven films have won with a PG rating: the first was Patton (1970) and the most recent was Driving Miss Daisy (1989). Eleven more films have won with a PG-13 rating (which was introduced in 1984): the first was The Last Emperor (1987) and the most recent was CODA (2021).

Three animated films have been nominated for Best Picture: Beauty and the Beast (1991), Up (2009) and Toy Story 3 (2010). The latter two were nominated after the Academy expanded the number of nominees, but none have won.

No comic book film has won, although three have been nominated: Skippy (1931), Black Panther (2018), and Joker (2019).

Two fantasy films have won: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) and The Shape of Water (2017), although more have been nominated.

The Silence of the Lambs (1991) is the only horror film to win Best Picture. Five others have been nominated for Best Picture: The Exorcist (1973), Jaws (1975), The Sixth Sense (1999), Black Swan (2010), and Get Out (2017).

Several science-fiction films have been nominated for Best Picture, though Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) was the first one to win.

Titanic (1997) is the only disaster film to win Best Picture, though other such films have been nominated, including Airport (1970) and The Towering Inferno (1974).

No documentary feature has been nominated for Best Picture, although Chang: A Drama of the Wilderness was nominated in the Unique and Artistic Picture category at the 1927/28 awards. A Best Documentary Feature category was introduced in 1941.

Several musical adaptations based on material previously filmed in non-musical form have won Best Picture, including Gigi, West Side Story, My Fair Lady, The Sound of Music, Oliver!, and Chicago.

Several epics or historical epic films have won Best Picture, including the first recipient Wings. Others include Cimarron, Cavalcade, Gone with the Wind, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Ben-Hur, Lawrence of Arabia, Patton, The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, The Last Emperor, Dances with Wolves, Schindler's List, Forrest Gump, Braveheart, The English Patient, Titanic, Gladiator, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, and Oppenheimer.

Sequel nominations and winners

Nine films that were presented as direct sequels have been nominated for Best Picture: The Bells of St. Mary's (1945; the sequel to the 1944 winner, Going My Way), The Godfather Part II (1974), The Godfather Part III (1990), The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002), The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003), Toy Story 3 (2010), Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) and Top Gun: Maverick (2022).

Toy Story 3, Mad Max: Fury Road and Top Gun: Maverick are the only sequels to be nominated without any predecessors being nominated. The Godfather Part II and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King are the only sequels to have won the award, and their respective trilogies are the only series to have three films nominated. The Godfather series is the only film series with multiple Best Picture winners, with the first film winning the award for 1972 and the second film winning the award for 1974.

Another nominee, Broadway Melody of 1936, was a follow-up of sorts to previous winner The Broadway Melody, but beyond the title and some music, the two films have mutually independent stories. The Silence of the Lambs was adapted from the sequel novel to Red Dragon. The latter had been adapted for film as Manhunter by a different studio, and the two films have different casts and creative teams and were not presented as a series.

The Lion in Winter features Peter O'Toole as King Henry II, a role he had played previously in the film Becket, but The Lion in Winter is not a sequel to Becket. Similarly, The Queen features Michael Sheen as Tony Blair, a role he had played previously in the television film The Deal. Christine Langan, producer of both productions, described The Queen as not being a direct sequel, only that it reunited the same creative team.

Clint Eastwood's Letters from Iwo Jima was a companion piece to his film Flags of Our Fathers that was released earlier the same year. These two films depict the same battle from the different viewpoints of Japanese and United States military forces; the two films were shot back-to-back.

In addition, Black Panther is a continuation of the events that occurred in Captain America: Civil War and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Remake nominations and winners

Along similar lines to sequels, there have been few nominees and winners that are either remakes or adaptations of the same source materials or subjects.

Ben-Hur, which won Best Picture of 1959, is a remake of the 1925 silent film with a similar title and both were adapted from Lew Wallace's 1880 novel Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ. The Departed, which won Best Picture of 2006, is a remake of the 2002 Hong Kong film Infernal Affairs and is the first remake of a non-English language or international film to win.

Other nominees include 1963's Cleopatra about the titular last queen of Egypt following the 1934 version, 2018's A Star is Born following the 1937 film of the same name, and 2019's Little Women following the 1933 film of the same name with both being adaptations of the 1868 novel. True Grit, which was nominated for Best Picture of 2010, is the second adaptation of Charles Portis's 1968 novel following the 1969 film of the same name.

Four of the nominees for the 94th ceremony were based on source material previously made into films: CODA, Dune, Nightmare Alley, and West Side Story. The 2021 version of West Side Story became the second adaptation of the same source material for a previous Best Picture winner to be nominated for the same award after 1962's Mutiny on the Bounty. For that same ceremony, CODA became the second remake of a non-English-language or international film to win.

The 2022 German-language All Quiet on the Western Front is the second adaptation of the 1929 novel after the 1930 English-language film, and the third adaptation of the same source material of a previous Best Picture winner.

Silent film winners

At the 1st Academy Awards, the Best Picture award (then named "Academy Award for Outstanding Picture") was presented to the 1927 silent film Wings.

The Artist (2011) was the first essentially silent (with the exception of a single scene of dialogue, and a dream sequence with sound effects) film since Wings to win Best Picture. It was the first silent nominee since 1928's The Patriot. It was the first Best Picture winner to be produced entirely in black-and-white since 1960's The Apartment. (Schindler's List, the 1993 winner, was predominantly black-and-white but contains some color sequences.)

Version availability

No Best Picture winner has been lost, though a few such as All Quiet on the Western Front and Lawrence of Arabia exist only in a form altered from their original, award-winning release form. This has usually been due to editing for reissue (and subsequently partly restored by archivists). Other winners and nominees, such as Tom Jones (prior to its 2018 reissues by The Criterion Collection and the British Film Institute) and Star Wars, are widely available only in subsequently altered versions. The Broadway Melody originally had some sequences photographed in two-color Technicolor. This footage survives only in black and white.

The 1928 film The Patriot is the only Best Picture nominee that is lost (about one-third is extant). The Racket, also from 1928, was believed lost for many years until a print was found in Howard Hughes' archives. It has since been restored and shown on Turner Classic Movies. The only surviving complete prints of 1931's East Lynne and 1934's The White Parade exist within the UCLA film archive.

Diversity standards

The Academy has established a set of "representation and inclusion standards", called Academy Aperture 2025, which a film will be required to satisfy in order to compete in the Best Picture category, starting with the 96th Academy Awards for films released in 2023. There are four general standards, of which a film must satisfy two to be considered for Best Picture: (a) on-screen representation, themes and narratives; (b) creative leadership and project team; (c) industry access and opportunities; and (d) audience development. As explained by Vox, the standards "basically break down into two big buckets: standards promoting more inclusive representation and standards promoting more inclusive employment". The standards are intended to provide greater opportunities for employment, in cast, crew, studio apprenticeships and internships, and development, marketing, publicity, and distribution executives, among underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, women, LGBTQ+ people, and persons with cognitive or physical disabilities (not counting developmental disabilities like the autism spectrum), or who are deaf or hard of hearing.

For the 94th and 95th Academy Awards (films released in 2021 and 2022), filmmakers were required to submit a confidential Academy Inclusion Standards form to be considered for Best Picture but were not required to fulfill the standards. These standards will only apply to the Best Picture category and do not affect a film's eligibility in other Oscar categories.

2016 ceremony mistake

At the 89th Academy Awards on February 26, 2017, presenter Faye Dunaway read La La Land as the winner of the award. However, she and Warren Beatty had mistakenly been given the duplicate envelope for the "Best Actress in a Leading Role" award, which Emma Stone had won for her role in La La Land. While accepting the award, La La Land producer Jordan Horowitz, who was given the correct envelope, realized the mistake and announced that Moonlight had won the award.

Criticisms and controversies

High Noon and The Greatest Show on Earth

Further information: The Greatest Show on Earth (film) § Oscar controversy

Many film historians believe that High Noon lost out for that award to The Greatest Show on Earth due to its initial release of High Noon bared a panoramic view of modern downtown Los Angeles. Retrospectively, The Greatest Show on Earth has been considered by some to be one of the worst Best Picture winners in history.

Diversity criticisms

In general, the awardees of that category have been criticized for disproportionately recognizing films about white men over those of women and/or non-white people. With the exception of Barry Jenkins's Moonlight, films like Precious and Get Out was the subject to criticism towards the Academy members, mostly are older and white, for choosing not to see. From 2018 onwards, a new rule is established for diversity standards.

Saving Private Ryan and Shakespeare in Love

Saving Private Ryan was an immediate favorite to the category by many members and fans of Spielberg's films, which was heavily favored to win, but lost to Shakespeare in Love. The Academy's decision was criticized by many for awarding Shakespeare in Love over Saving Private Ryan, seen as one of the biggest upsets in the awards history, which led to DreamWorks executives (including Terry Press) and many industry pundits accusing Miramax and one of the producers, Harvey Weinstein, that this win was attributed to the award campaign led by himself. Press stated that Weinstein and Miramax "tried to get everybody to believe that Saving Private Ryan was all in the first 15 minutes".

Brokeback Mountain and Crash

Further information: Brokeback Mountain § Best Picture controversy, and Crash (2004 film) § Oscar controversy

Brokeback Mountain lost the Best Picture to Crash was heavily criticized, with some critics such as Kenneth Turan accused the Academy members of homophobia and benefited for making a non-groundbreaking choice to Crash, considered as one of the most notable Oscars upsets. After announcing the award, presenter Jack Nicholson was caught on camera mouthing the word "whoa" out of apparent surprise at the result. The film's use of moral quandary as a storytelling medium was widely reported as ironic since many saw it as the "safe" alternative to Brokeback Mountain, which is about a gay relationship (the other nominees, Good Night and Good Luck, Capote, and Munich also tackle heavy subjects of McCarthyism, homosexuality, and terrorism). Some of whom openly voiced their discomfort with Brokeback Mountain due to its subject matter.

Animated films in Best Picture category

Katzenberg (pictured in 2006) was responsible for Beauty and The Beast, and in attempts of Pocahontas and Shrek, to be nominated Best Picture category.

As of 2008, some members and fans have criticized the Best Animated Feature category; however, saying it is only intended to prevent any animated films from having a chance of winning and nominating Best Picture after the inauguration for animated films. The most notable example is Shrek, became an immediate favorite for the nomination, similar the way of nominating animated films like the animation rivalry's 1991 film Beauty and the Beast; DreamWorks and Katzenberg had advertised heavily during the holiday 2001 season for the film like the studio's previous years, but it didn’t materialize Best Picture. Nonetheless, it was successfully nominated for Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy, and was also the first animated film to be nominated for PGA Award for Best Theatrical Motion Picture, BAFTA Award for Best Film, and Critics' Choice Awards for Best Picture, respectively.

Another criticism surrounding the category was particularly prominent at the 81st Academy Awards, in which WALL-E won the award but was not nominated for Best Picture, despite receiving multiple accolades; all five Best Picture nominees are drama-genre films. This sparked controversy over whether the film was deliberately snubbed of such nomination by the Academy. Film critic Peter Travers commented that "if there was ever a time where an animated feature deserved to be nominated for Best Picture, it's WALL-E." However, official Academy Award regulations state that any film nominated for this category can still be nominated for Best Picture. This, as well as more backlash that The Dark Knight was also not another Best Picture nominee meant that next year, the Academy expanded the Best Picture category. After the expansion, two animated films—Up (2009) and Toy Story 3 (2010)—were nominated for Best Picture; both distributed by Walt Disney Studios.

From 2020 onwards, other studios have also come close to a Best Picture nomination with critical and commercial success, including Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (Netflix Animation), The Boy and the Heron (Studio Ghibli), and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Sony Pictures Animation); the latter grew strong positive reactions and received several Best Picture nominations from critics' groups.

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close nomination

Further information: Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (film) § Best Picture nomination controversy

Critics and audiences criticized Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close's nomination for Best Picture, with some calling the film one of the worst Best Picture nominees ever. Chris Krapek of The Huffington Post wrote very negatively about the film's nomination, calling the film "not only the worst reviewed Best Picture nominee of the last 10 years, easily the worst film of 2011". Paste Magazine's Adam Vitcavage called the film's consensus for a Best Picture nominee "certainly the worst for at least 28 years", and David Gritten of The Telegraph called the nomination "mysterious".

Winners and nominees

In the list below, winners are listed first in the gold row, followed by the other nominees. Except for the early years (when the Academy used a non-calendar year), the year shown is the one in which the film first premiered in Los Angeles County, California; normally this is also the year of first release; however, it may be the year after first release (as with Casablanca and, if the film-festival premiere is considered, Crash and The Hurt Locker). This is also the year before the ceremony at which the award is given; for example, a film exhibited theatrically during 2005 was eligible for consideration for the 2005 Best Picture Oscar, awarded in 2006. The number of the ceremony (1st, 2nd, etc.) appears in parentheses after the awards year, linked to the article on that ceremony. Each individual entry shows the title followed by nominee.

Until 1950, the Best Picture award was given to the production company; from 1951 on, it has gone to the producer or producers. The Academy used the producer credits of the Producers Guild of America (PGA) until 1998, when all five producers of Shakespeare in Love made speeches after its win. A three-producer limit has been applied some years since. There was controversy over the exclusion of some PGA-credited producers of Crash and Little Miss Sunshine. The Academy can make exceptions to the limit, as when Anthony Minghella and Sydney Pollack were posthumously among the four nominated for The Reader. However, now any number of producers on a film can be nominated for Best Picture, should they be deemed eligible.

For the first ceremony, three films were nominated for the award. For the following three years, five films were nominated for the award. This was expanded to eight in 1933, to ten in 1934, and to twelve in 1935, before being dropped back to ten in 1937. In 1945, it was further reduced to five. This number remained until 2009, when the limit was raised to ten; it was adjusted from 2011 to 2020 to vary between five and ten, but has been a full ten since 2022.

For the first six ceremonies, the eligibility period spanned two calendar years. For example, the 2nd Academy Awards presented on April 3, 1930, recognized films that were released between August 1, 1928, and July 31, 1929. Starting with the 7th Academy Awards, held in 1935, the period of eligibility became the full previous calendar year from January 1 to December 31. This has been the rule every year since except 2020, when the end date was extended to February 28, 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and 2021, which was correspondingly limited to March 1 to December 31.

  2. The Academy also announced that A Farewell to Arms came in second, and Little Women third.
  3. The Academy also announced that The Barretts of Wimpole Street came in second, and The House of Rothschild third.
  4. The Academy also announced that The Informer came in second, and Captain Blood third.
