A fun thread: When you were born, what movie won the BEST PICTURE Award?

Now, take into account that the year you were born, the movie that won was actually released and viewed the year earlier. So for example: If you were born in 1980, you should choose 1979 as the year for the winning Academy Award Movie, because the Academy Awards take place early in the new year.

Here's what won the year I was born (1956) Use this link -- http://timelines.latimes.com/academy-awards/
