The Academy Awards, with a history spanning almost a century, has nominated 611 films for best picture, showcasing a wide array of genres and narratives. Powerful films like 'Titanic' and 'All About Eve' have won with 14 nominations, while 'La La Land' experienced a unique moment in Oscars history with its numerous nominations but no win. Additionally, landmark films such as 'Parasite' highlight the evolution of non-English language films in the competition, while women's achievements in directing remain notably limited.
In nearly 100 years, the Oscars have nominated 611 films for best picture, reflecting an evolving landscape of cinema and storytelling. Classic winners like 'Forrest Gump' and trailblazers such as 'Silence of the Lambs' showcase the diverse range of films honored by the Academy.
'Titanic' and 'All About Eve' share the title of most-nominated best picture winners with 14 nominations each, illustrating the significant recognition these films received. In contrast, ‘La La Land,' despite its 14 nominations, did not win due to a memorable mix-up during the ceremony.
The Academy's history shows a unique recognition of color films, as seen with 'Gone with the Wind,' and boundary-pushing narratives, evidenced by 'Parasite,' which became the first non-English language film to win best picture, making a significant impact on global cinema.
Women's representation in best picture wins is scarce, with only three female-directed films triumphing: 'The Hurt Locker,' 'Nomadland,' and 'CODA.' This highlights the ongoing need for greater inclusivity and diversity in the film industry.
