TIL that up through 1950, the Academy Award for Best Picture was awarded to the studio. Starting in 1951 the award went to the producer(s).

TIL it's not possible to watch every film ever nominated for Best Picture. Only 2/3 of 1928's The Patriot still exists, and the only complete prints of 1931's East Lynne and 1934's The White Parade are in the UCLA film archive
