This is a list of Academy Award–winning films.

If a film won the Academy Award for Best Picture, its entry is listed in a shaded background with a boldface title.

Competitive Oscars are separated from non-competitive Oscars (i.e. Honorary Award, Special Achievement Award, Juvenile Award); as such, any films that were awarded a non-competitive award will be shown in brackets next to the number of competitive wins.

    Just Another Missing Kid originally aired as an episode of the Canadian television series The Fifth Estate in 1981. It was released in theaters later the same year, qualifying it to receive an Academy Award.

    Due to Academy rules at the time for foreign-language films (since changed), Amarcord competed in both 1974 (one award from one nomination) and 1975 (no awards from two nominations).

    The Godfather score, composed by Nino Rota, was originally announced as one of the nominees. It was later pointed out that portions of the score and the main theme were composed by Rota for his score to the 1958 Italian film, Fortunella. The Music Branch was given this information and re-balloted to determine the fifth nomination. The list of six films they were to choose from were the remaining five of the top ten preliminary listings, plus The Godfather score. The results of the re-balloting was that the fifth nomination became Sleuth, composed by John Addison.
