Which movie won Best Picture at the 1985 Academy Awards?
Last updated: October 11, 2024
To begin, let’s have a quick refresher on how the Academy Awards work — the ceremony is usually early in the year and gives out awards for the movies that came out the year before. So when looking at award recipients for 1985, what we’re really talking about here is movies that came out in 1984.
Which was a pretty special year in terms of the cinema. "Ghostbusters," "The Karate Kid," "Gremlins" — these would have been some of my picks to be nominated for Best Picture that year. Alas, I’m not a member of “the Academy”, whose members seem to gravitate towards straight dramatic films, outside of the occasional outlier.
Despite the disrespect my favorite movies received that year, there were some very good ones up for the ultimate Oscar prize. Which movie won Best Picture at the 1985 Academy Awards?
