Academy Award for Best Picture

The Academy Award for Best Picture is one of the Academy

Academy Award for Best
Awards (also known as Oscars) presented annually by the
Picture
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) since the
awards debuted in 1929. This award goes to the producers of the Awarded Best Motion Picture of
for the Year
film and is the only category in which every member of the
Academy is eligible to submit a nomination and vote on the final Country United States
ballot.[1] The Best Picture category is traditionally the final award Presented Academy of Motion
of the night and is widely considered as the most prestigious honor by Picture Arts and
of the ceremony.[2][3][4] Sciences (AMPAS)

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.[7]

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.[8] 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.[6]

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.[9][10][11]

As of 2020, the "Special Rules for the Best Picture of the Year Award" limit recipients to those who meet
two main requirements:[12]

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.[12]

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.[13] As of 2014 the Producers
Branch Executive Committee determines such exceptions, noting they take place only in "rare and
extraordinary circumstance[s]."[12]

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).[14]

Nomination limit increased

On June 24, 2009, AMPAS announced that the number of films to be nominated in the Best Picture award
category would increase from five to ten, starting with the 82nd Academy Awards (2009).[15] 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.[16][17][18] Officially, the Academy said the rule
change was a throwback to the Academy's early years in the 1930s and 1940s, when eight 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."[15]

At the same time, the voting system was switched from first-past-the-post to instant runoff voting (also
known as preferential voting).[19] In 2011, the Academy revised the rule again so that the number of films
nominated was between five and ten; nominated films must earn either 5% of first-place rankings or 5%
after an abbreviated variation of the single transferable vote nominating process.[20] 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."[21] This system lasted until 2021, when the Academy reverted
back to a set number of ten nominees from the 94th Academy Awards onward.[22]

Language and country of origin

Only 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);[23] 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.[24][25]

Only 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.[26]

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).

Genres and mediums

Only 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, and only three have ever been nominated: Skippy (1931), Black Panther
(2018), and Joker (2019).[27]

Only 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, and only 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.[28]

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, however Chang was nominated in the
equally prestigious Unique and Artistic Picture category at the 1927/28 awards. A Best Documentary
Feature category would later by 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.[23]
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.[29]

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.[30]

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.[31] 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.[32] 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.[33]

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.)[26]

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.[34]

The 1928 film The Patriot is the only Best Picture nominee that is lost (about one-third is extant).[35] 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.[36] The only surviving complete
prints of 1931's East Lynne and 1934's The White Parade exist within the UCLA film archive.[37]

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.[38][39] 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.[38] As explained by Vox, the standards "basically break down into two big buckets: standards
promoting more inclusive representation and standards promoting more inclusive employment".[40] 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 intellectual disabilities like the autism spectrum), or who are deaf or hard
of hearing.[38][41]

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.[40] These standards will only apply to the Best Picture category and do not
affect a film's eligibility in other Oscar categories.[38]

2017 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.[42]

Winners and nominees

In the list below, winners are listed first in the gold row, followed by the other nominees.[6] 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.[9][10] A three-
producer limit has been applied some years since.[10][11] There was controversy over the exclusion of some
PGA-credited producers of Crash and Little Miss Sunshine.[11] The Academy can make exceptions to the
limit, as when Anthony Minghella and Sydney Pollack were posthumously among the four nominated for
The Reader.[13] 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.

Notes
a. The 2nd Academy Awards is unique in being the only occasion where there were no official
nominees. Subsequent research by AMPAS has resulted in a list of de facto nominees,
based on records of which films were evaluated by the judges at the time.
b. The Academy also announced that A Farewell to Arms came in second, and Little Women
third.
c. The Academy also announced that The Barretts of Wimpole Street came in second, and The
House of Rothschild third.
d. The Academy also announced that The Informer came in second, and Captain Blood third.
