	I just wish I could finish a quiz for once. I hate quizes that end immediately after getting one wrong. No one is perfect! (unless you cheat or expert in topic)

	Wow, I'm kind of surprised by some of the low-scoring ones. I mean, "The Artist" just won this year! And geez, "LOTR: Return of the King" won every award it was nominated for! I guess the most surprising thing, though, is that the highest %age answer (as of this writing) is "A Beautiful Mind". To be sure, it was a very good movie, but frankly I think there were much more obvious "Best Picture" films on the list of winners.

	One reason the stats are the way they are is that the choices are in alphabetical order and as soon as you click on a wrong one, the game ends. So, one wrong answer and most people aren't going to get the movies that start with a letter later in the alphabet. I like this quiz, though.

	I wonder whether the percentage of people who guessed Shakespeare in Love is higher or lower than the percentage who blew up by guessing Saving Private Ryan...

	Good grief. How soon they forget. And I don't mean the Best Picture from this or that year, I mean the number of times I clicked on the same wrong answer before finally getting all 21. (bangs head quietly against desk).

	It goes to show that while there are a few questionable choices on this list, the Academy is pretty consistent with picking great, enduring films for Best Picture. Which is more than you can say for most other major awards ceremonies.

	@wolfpackjew: First off, interesting name. 2nd, how do you possible consider yourself a movie "buff" if you've never heard of the best western of the past 30 years?

	Tony_A:	May 1st, 2012 at 14:44 GMT		5 points
	@Wolfpack, Do yourself a favor and watch Unforgiven as soon as you can. You'll see why it's one of the highest-rated Westerns of all time and why Eastwood got both Best Director and Best Picture and why Gene Hackman got Best Supporting Actor.

	Took this quiz a few times, kept scoring 20. On every re-take, I got to 19 and couldn't figure out what one I was forgetting. It was always Braveheart.

	This is the most frustrating quiz. Would be better if it were set up like the others and you could get some wrong.

	Pleaaaase stop making clickable quizzes that have mines!

	joehemmings:	May 1st, 2012 at 17:27 GMT		4 points
	I was stuck staring at it for ages with just one left to go. I always try to deny that Titanic won best picture.

	Good thing The Hurt Locker wasn't a landmine. That would be an unfortunate coincidence.

	Tony_A:	May 1st, 2012 at 17:55 GMT		1 point
	@DreDay, the title and instructions clearly state that a wrong answer will end the quiz. Since you decided to play anyway, you really can't complain.

	Meltha:	May 1st, 2012 at 18:04 GMT		4 points
	I clicked on Titanic, then immediately on Life Is Beautiful. Holy cow that was fast.

	Agree with those requesting that clickables not have mines. Loved the quiz.

	I know the real meaning, and I'm sure everybody does, that the winner does not count as a nominee. But maybe you should specify that?

	mccat:	May 3rd, 2012 at 06:41 GMT		4 points
	I think the minefields are ok with quizzes that have fewer wrong answers to pick from and more obvious ones to guess (like the state abbreviations) but for this quiz with so many wrong answers, it made it really hard to get far enough along to learn anything if you don't already know most of them. I'd rather have a quiz that helps me learn the material instead of having to start over lots of times.

	I wonder why there is such a big gap between Unforgiven and the rest

	bananasugar:	May 5th, 2012 at 09:10 GMT		0 points
	i have played it 6 times so far and my record is... 4!! Hsha :D

	Tom_Tildrum:	May 8th, 2012 at 17:11 GMT		4 points
	I keep confusing "A Beautiful Mind" with "Life Is Beautiful." Imagine Roberto Benigni in that role...

	I'm surprised Crash is as high as it is. Maybe that oddity is because the "snub" of Brokeback Mountain is common knowledge to the Oscars, but how is it ahead of famous films such as Gladiator and the Silence of the Lambs?

	cullen3:	Jun 7th, 2012 at 21:39 GMT		0 points
	it was difficult to pick the movies that actually won instead of the ones that should have (i'm talking to you Shakespeare in Love...)

	yatcho:	Jun 7th, 2012 at 22:15 GMT		0 points
	Probably tried 30 times before I remembered The English Patient.

	It'd be cool if you could right-click an option to flag it as a mine, like in minesweeper.

	retrogirl85:	Jul 2nd, 2012 at 04:48 GMT		-2 points
	I can't figure out which one I missed! :( It's whatever one falls between "Return of the King" and "Crash" :/
