About this quiz

The Academy Award for Best Picture goes to one film each year, chosen from a field of nominees. This quiz asks for the whole field at every ceremony from 1940 to 1949; each ceremony honours films of the year before.

  • The field ran from 5 to 10 nominees a year in this period.
  • The first winner of the period was Gone with the Wind and the last was Hamlet.
  • A leading The can be left off, and a film with a subtitle can be typed by the subtitle alone when no other nominee shares it.
  • Years are ceremony years, so a film released in 1994 sits under 1995.
