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 1950 to 1959; each ceremony honours films of the year before.
- Every ceremony in this period had 5 nominees.
- The first winner of the period was All the King's Men and the last was Gigi.
- 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.
