See where Parasite enters our ranking of every Oscars Best Picture winner
Photo-Illustration: Maya Robinson/Vulture This story first ran in 2019 and has been updated to reflect Parasite’s recent Oscar win.
Every year starting in late August and ending sometime around late February, Hollywood is consumed with winning an eight-and-a-half-pound gold trophy. Even in a world overrun with awards shows, the Oscars remain the grandest prize, and a Best Picture victory cements filmmakers and actors’ place in history. It also means that, for the rest of time, a lot of people will complain that your movie wasn’t that great and should have lost to some other movie they felt was eminently more deserving.
It’s very easy to second-guess the Academy on its Best Picture picks, but while putting together our ranking of every winner, we decided that, all in all, there aren’t that many terrible choices. Sure, mediocrity rules the roost, but for the most part this list is littered with good movies — sometimes very good, occasionally incredible, but largely good-enough movies.
So here it is: our ranking of all 92 Best Picture winners. You’ll probably disagree with us. That’s what the Academy Awards are all about. .youtube[data-uri="www.vulture.com/_components/youtube/instances/cjs4ua7u2001d3g66gx2ey6js@published"].border-top:before { content: 'Watch'; } Widely considered the first real “Hollywood musical,” to be honest, that’s just about the only thing going for it.
