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.
