How Many Best Picture Winners Can You Name By Word

[The Creator]

There are several other Best Picture games I found here, but I liked this one: (type a word (like "The") and all BP winners with The in the title will appear). I got 65 my first try.http://www.sporcle.c...ure-by-any-wordAlso, Best Picture by Character game:http://www.sporcle.c..._name_characterAnd Best Picture by Setting game:http://www.sporcle.com/games/ImpromptuJ/Best_Picture_Settings

Dang it didn't show which I got right and wrong!I'm going to edit the post above as a spoiler and show which ones I did get right and wrong.

49 out of 83 on settings.I had a problem that I thought Artist would be on there so I kept on saying it for some years, though the only year that it fit really was set for a film that was made that year.

[baumer]

I can do every best picture winner by heart from 1970 to 2011.

[lab276]

32 out of 84. Would've been 33 if I could spell Gandhi.

[Impact]

I can also name nearly every nomination for best picture in the past 30 years...I also mispelled 2, Gandhi and Amadeus. And for some reason I missed some obvious ones, I can name every winner though.

[riczhang]

83 missed French Connection (This was without typing in answers such as The, A, In, To, and etc.)

[American Eagle]

48 on the word.10 on the character.15 on the setting.I don't really know many obscure films from before 1980. >_>

[Impact]

^Well thats better then most who probably don't even know the winners before 1990, heck maybe even 2000 (Its true actually)

[CoolioD1]

79. Got every winner of the past 55 years though, just blanked on a few of the older ones.18/32 for characters, surprising, I'm usually rubbish at character names. i can't believe I didn't get that Billy Kramer was in Kramer vs. Kramer.46/83 for setting.

Some of the settings are easy-LOTR, any present day ones, ones that have the films title. Ben-Hur was easy as well.

[Impact]

^Which btw for some reason for all the WW2 films, I only guessed Patton and River Kwaii, missed out somehow on Sound of Music and Schindler's List.I'm going to try it again sometime.

[Impact]

Oddly I can name every best picture winner without looking...I just have odd knowledge of films I guess

[MovieMan89]

Got 58. Wasted like 30 seconds really "getting" it though.

[Robertron]

40 out 84....Better than I thought.

[Impact]

Whats also sad is how many major Oscar winners I can name as well as how many nominations I can name from years.....

Not quite as sad as me..... I can name every single Oscar nominated film since 1996 and that includes all the technical categories, shorts, and foreign....
