It’s Oscar week! Every day this week, WTOP examines a different aspect of Oscar history and this year’s race.
On Monday, we asked if “Oppenheimer” marks the return of the blockbuster Best Picture. On Tuesday, we tallied the winningest films on the Oscar Mount Rushmore. And Wednesday, we griped about glaring snubs made by the Academy.
Now, it’s time to pick which movies should have won Best Picture every single year since the Oscars began in 1927.
To be clear: these aren’t the actual nominees from each year, but rather the movies that I wish were nominated.
I tried my very best to include a range of mainstream blockbusters and art masterpieces across a variety of genres around the world, both lowbrow and highbrow alike.
This list doesn’t include documentaries, which I considered a separate non-fiction medium.
