Description
The Academy Award for Best Motion Picture is one of the Academy Awards of Merit presented annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) to artists working in the motion picture industry. 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. During the annual Academy Awards ceremony, Best Picture is reserved as the final award presented and, since 1951, is collected at the podium by the film's producers. The Academy Award for Best Motion Picture is considered one of, if not 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 Grand Staircase columns at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles, where the Academy Awards ceremonies have been held since 2002, showcase every film that has won the Best Picture title since the award's inception 80 years ago. The official name of the award has changed several times over the years: 1927/28 → 1928/29: Outstanding Picture 1929/30 → 1940: Outstanding Production 1941 → 1943: Outstanding Motion Picture 1944 → 1961: Best Motion Picture 1962 → present: Best Picture MOST AWARDS (11 EACH): Ben-Hur Titanic The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King MOST NOMINATIONS (14 EACH): All About Eve Titanic LONGEST WINNER: Gone with the Wind - 3 hours 54 minutes LONGEST NOMINEE: Cleopatra - 4 hours 2 minutes SHORTEST WINNER: Marty - 1 hour 31 minutes SHORTEST NOMINEE: She Done Him Wrong - 1 hour 6 minutes Source: Wikipedia
