Best Picture Oscar Winners by Year (Academy Awards)

[Weedygarden]

Today is the award ceremony. This list does not include the last few years.
I have not seen most of these movies, but the link below tells you where you can view them. Some are free, some have a fee. The most common fee I saw was $3.99.

There are a few places where there are lists of all the awards including the award winning movies. Some lists are by the year of the award, and some lists are by the year the movie came out. The award is given the year after the movie came out. All of the 2024 awards are for movies that came out in 2023.

This list did not come from the link that I posted. I posted the link so that any of us can find where we can watch the movies.
The list of movies I'm sharing came from another list. There was some confusion in the 1940's. There is a year where no award was given, but another year where two were awarded.

The closer the list gets to 2023, the lesser I even recognize the name of the winning movie. I can safely way that I have no idea what the last 12 or 13 movies are even about. I do want to see one of the movies nominated for 2024 Best Picture: Killers of the Flower Moon.

I have always been fairly busy through h.s., college, and afterwards, always working at least one job and some times two and three. I had a several years where if I went to a movie, I would go to sleep, because I was sitting still. I have seen more movies since I retired and especially since 2020 during the pandemic. My mother liked movies and we would often go to the drive-in when she was alive. By the time the movie started at the drive in, I was asleep. For me, I was much more likely to make it through a movie if it was a matinee.

 

[SLADE]

I loved Chicago because of the times and the music.
The ladies were OK too.

 

[LadyLocust]

The most recent one I recognize is Lord of the rings: have seen may15 minutes of it but at least I recognize it. Recognize all through the nineties - have not seen many of them but do recognize them. Then of course some of the classics. I’m not a movie buff.

I have watched and recognize every one from 1957 thru 2001, and none above except 2008.

I can’t usually sit long enough to watch a whole movie. I used to have a friend who teased me about only seeing part of more movies. . . Most don’t hold my interest.

 

[Weedygarden]

These are the movies that I remember seeing. I may have seen some more, but do not remember what they were about. That is not unusual for me. Sometimes I can watch most of a movie and then have a glimpse of something that I remember.

I would also like to see all of the movies that have been nominated as well.

does anyone really still watch this so called award show? load of pretentious rubbish inhabited by premadonnas.

 

[Amish Heart]

I don't watch it simply because it's the only industry that I know of that televises itself patting itself on the back. That to me is just weird. The gift bag value alone could house a homeless vet. But whatever they want to do. Not my business.

 

[lonewolf]

The Eurovision song contest is another load of rubbish I dont watch either, it always was political but its got worse since Brexit.

I'm sure that people watch it. I have a friend who was a theatre major and probably never misses it. I have probably seen it a couple of times, or maybe just parts of it. My interest is not in watching the actual show, but more in what movies are seen as the better ones for the year. I know that there are many movies that never get nominated or awards, but are excellent films. Of course there are many films that I have zero interest in.
I do have a goal of trying to watch all of the winning films, but also some films that were nominated but didn't win.

Dont care to pay to watch. Heck i still have not watched Titanic. Couldnt tell you any of the New actors.

Titanic was the second to last movie I saw in the theater (one of the chipmunk movies with my kids was the last). It was a good movie as far as movies go, but I didn't like it - even at the time. I thought it was too soon to glorify a tragedy and felt it was disrespectful to those who had loved ones on the ship. That pretty much sums up Hollyweird.

It was during the pandemic that I got into watching movies. I had usually been too busy prior to that to pay attention.

I knew people that were over the top interested in the Titanic. I saw it, and it may have been a movie that was in the mix of the collection of VHS movies that we had at one point in time. I haven't seen it for many years.

There was a family, that I had had the two daughters as students, who with their father built a replica of the Titanic on the third floor of their mansion.

 

[lonewolf]

if I watch anything its usually natural history documentaries or gardening shows, not movies.

 

[Magpie]

I don't watch the awards-don't need to, they are plastered everywhere afterwards, hard to miss who wins. I was delighted for Cillain Murphy, who is a great actor, and brilliant in the series Peaky Blinders. I don't watch much tv, but film 4 was running a winning movie every night for the past few weeks, so I got to see Nomadland, which I read a few years back. Sometimes what stands out for me are the movies NOT on the list.
