Oscars Trivia Quiz: Which Best Picture Are You?

Test your knowledge of Academy Awards nominees from the past 50 years

By Keith Harris

Over the years, political controversy has become as big a part of the Oscars as fashionable gowns and gushy speeches. This year, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith are making Oscars history by boycotting the Feb. 28 awards ceremony due to lack of  African-American nominees for any major acting award for the second consecutive year.

But what do you remember about Oscars past?  Our Oscars trivia quiz has 10 questions, decade by decade, over the past 50 years, covering snubs, sweeps, wins losses, and, of course, political controversies. Your final score will reveal which of the Best Picture winners cited you're most like. But we're warning you — if you get 'em all wrong, you're Crash.
