In the Oscars‘ 95-year history, the Academy has nominated 591 films for the best picture award.
Some winners, like the comedy-drama „Forrest Gump“ (1994), are considered classics, while others, like the psychological horror „Silence of the Lambs“ (1991), are trailblazers in their genres.
„Titanic“ (1997) and „All About Eve“ (1950) top the list as the most-nominated movies to win best picture, with 14 nominations each. „La La Land“ (2016) also boasts 14 nods but did not win best picture, even if Warren Beatty’s famous faux pas had millions of ceremony viewers briefly believing it had.
„Titanic“ is also one of three movies to win a record 11 awards, joined by „Ben-Hur“ (1959) and „Lord of the Rings: Return of the King“ (2003). Yet the latter takes the cake for being the most-nominated movie to win in every single nominated category.
