BMP Trivial Fact: Best Motion Picture with Character name in film title...

Over the past 81 years, there have been many films which won Best Motion Picture, that have a [Lead] Character's name in the title. These are the ones that I have come up with.

1. Rebecca (1940)
2. The Great Ziegfeld (1936)
3. The Life of Emile Zola (1937)
4. Mrs. Miniver (1942)
5. Hamlet (1948)
6. All About Eve (1950)
7. Gandhi (1982)
8. Marty (1955)
9. Gigi (1958)
10. Lawrence of Arabia (1962)
11. Tom Jones (1963)
12. Rocky (1976)
13. Oliver (1968)
14. Patton (1970)
15. Annie Hall (1977)
16. Kramer Versus Kramer (1979)
17. Driving Miss Daisy (1989)
18. Amadeus (1984)
19. Forrest Gump (1994)
20. Schindler's List (1993)
21. Ben Hur (1959)
22. Shakespeare in Love (1998)

It can be argued that Dances With Wolves (1990) could be added to the above list. Why? Well, in the film Lieutenant John J. Dunbar (Kevin Costner) becomes an accepted full member of the Sioux tribe, and is named ugmánitu Taka Ob'wahi (the eponymous "Dances with Wolves". ugmánitu Taka literally large coyote, Lakota for wolf). Thus, Dances With Wolves is a lead character in the film, as well as in the film's title.
