This page should tell you everything you'll ever need to know about the Oscars – and more.
It lists the films that had most success at the Oscars each year. This includes the winners of each of the six major Oscars (Best Picture, Best Direction, and the four acting awards), as well as every film that won more than one award. It also shows the film that received most nominations, if it doesn't fall into either of those first two categories – although I think I'm right in saying that this has only happened once.
(The numbers relate to those in the top row in the first table, below.)
| 1 | Ordinal number of the Oscars ceremony, and the year |
| 2 | Number of nominations |
| 3 | Number of awards |
| 4 | Best Picture |
| 5 | Best Direction |
| 6 | Best Actor in a Leading Role |
| 7 | Best Actress in a Leading Role |
| 8 | Best Actor in a Supporting Role |
| 9 | Best Actress in a Supporting Role |
For each year, the film whose title is in bold type is the one that won Best Picture. Within each year, the films are sorted by the number of nominations they received (descending) and then by the number of awards they won (also descending).
Note that there may be other films that received more nominations than some of the films listed (because they only won one of them, or none, and they didn't win any of the 'big six').
There are no names against the Best Picture awards, as this – the name(s) of the producer(s) – very rarely comes up in quizzes. Where a film won both Best Picture and Best Direction (which does happen most years, although it didn't in either 2013, 2014 or 2017), the name given is that of the director.
Any row without a "query" icon in the Individual column refers to a film that didn't win Best Director or any of the acting Oscars. It may have won Best Picture – but there is no name to reveal for this one, so no query icon.
There are obviously lots of other sites on the Internet that will tell you the winners of any Oscar, in any year. The main difference between this page and any of those others is that not only is this one focused on the awards that are most likely to come up in quizzes, but because the answers are hidden (until you reveal them), you can test yourself.
For example, try these:
| • | Which film won Best Picture in 2014? |
| • | Who won Best Supporting Actress in 2013, and for which film? |
| • | Who won Best Supporting Actor in 2010 and 2013 – and for which films? |
| • | In 2005, which film won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor? And which individuals won the last three of those four? |
| • | Which film received ten nominations in 2003, but didn't win any awards? |
| • | And in the same year, which film received 13 nominations and won six awards? |
| • | In which year did the film that received most nominations win no awards? |

The first Academy Awards ceremony was held on 16 May 1929. The second was on 3 April 1930 and the third on 5 November of the same year. The fourth and fifth were both held in November, of 1931 and 1932 respectively, and the sixth was on 16 March 1934. They have been held annually in late February or early March ever since.
