The Best Motion Pictures...

The first Academy Awards ceremony took place out of the public eye during an Academy banquet at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on May 16, 1929. Since then it has grown into a very popular event watched by millions of movie fans worldwide. Today, there are approximately 25 categories that recognize excellence of professionals in the film industry, including directors, actors, and writers.

However, the most popular category is Best Motion Picture. The Academy Award for Best Motion Picture is considered the most important of the Academy Awards, as it is the final result of the collaborative producing, directing, acting, and writing efforts put forth for a film. The Best Picture category is the only category in which every member of the Academy is eligible not only to vote on the final ballot, but also to nominate.

Over the past 81 years, there has been a wide variety of winners. Like most movie fans, I have a great interest in information about these great films. Although there is a Best Picture every year, there always a thing or two that comes up about past winners. Therefore, my blog is a way of chatting/discussing trivia info on the past winners.
