First, a quick definition:
According to my mother, everyone should know what their Oscar movie is. It’s just a cool bit of trivia to carry around with you and can be a great theme for movie night with family or friends.
I’ve compiled a quick and easy list here of Best Picture winners starting from 1934, which was the first year that films were recognized from one single year.
So, take a gander, find the year you were born and store this little nugget of information somewhere until the day you can randomly impress all of your friends at team trivia!

Having studied Media & Writing at James Madison University, I always knew that I wanted to do some type of creative writing, but being able to write about zombies, Starks, and superheroes on a daily basis for Fan Fest is my actual dream. While I probably shouldn’t be as proud as I am to be so similar to Nick Miller, I do hope to one day write my own “Pepperwood Chronicles’.
