My choices are noted with a ★. Historical Oscar winners are noted with a . Best foreign-language picture winners are noted with an ƒ. A historical winner who won in a different category is noted with a ✱.

Note: Tatum O'Neal won best supporting actress for Paper Moon despite being on screen for all but something like 3 minutes of the movie, so I put her in the lead category where she belongs.
