Following the ceremony on Sunday (February 4, 2018), I thought it would be a good idea to have a list of the 90 films which have won the Oscar for Best Picture, most recently Guillermo del Toro's sublime Cold War fantasy romance The Shape of Water. There was no category for Best Picture in 1928, with Wings taking the award for Outstanding Picture (the category which would become Best Picture in 1962 after other name variations) and Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans winning the Unique and Artistic Picture award.
The dates are complicated by the first few ceremonies' eligibility criteria permitting films from two calendar years and taking place quite some time after some of the nominated films were released, so they generally refer to the year in which the film was premiered (or shown in LA County) in the US, not the year of the ceremony or the film's release in the UK.

You are missing some great films. 12 Years a Slave is a tough watch, but it is very moving and powerful. Birdman was a surprise as I expected Boyhood to win that year, but it's become a film which impresses me the more I watch it. Spotlight is is very important, and superbly acted, film which is patiently told and, even with some background knowledge, the beginning of the credits is very impactful. I've only seen Moonlight once and keep meaning to rewatch it as I thought it was brilliant, and quite moving.Quote:Originally Posted by Demdike@Cult Labs

As I said on the thread, The Shape of Water is a remarkable film. It's funny, moving, thought-provoking, and in a similar category to Pan's Labyrinth in how it made me feel at the end and led to a second watch the next day.Posted 6th March 2018 at 01:43 PM by Nosferatu@Cult Labs
