About this quiz
A criteria game on the Best Picture winners of 1950 to 1989. Every criterion is worked out from the Academy's own records of what each film was nominated for and won at its ceremony.
- A film's Oscars count every competitive award it won that night, Best Picture included.
- Acting Oscars are the four awards for lead and supporting performances in that film.
- A wrong pick shows the right film and moves on; the settled film leaves the bank.
- Years are ceremony years, so a decade means the decade of the ceremony.
