Best Picture Oscar Winners of Past 20 Years

The Academy added Best Casting amid growing international voter presence, with two foreign-language Best Picture nominees and record 16 nominations for Ryan Coogler’s film.

  • Industry consolidation is evident as Warner Bros sale will consolidate roughly 40 percent of American cinema, with Ryan Coogler's film earning a record 16 nominations.
  • The Academy added a Best Casting category, the first new prize since 2001, with four of five films in the category featuring non‑professional performers.
  • The Academy remains a cultural barometer as the 98th Academy Awards, broadcast on March 16, highlights industry shifts with two non‑English Best Picture nominees.
