Best Picture Oscar Winners That Nobody Remembers

‘The Lost Weekend’ (1943)

Paramount Pictures

Directed by Billy Wilder, “The Lost Weekend” stars Ray Milland and Jane Wyman. It features an alcoholic writer hitting rock bottom. Along with “Marty”, they share the distinction of being the only two films to win both Best Picture and the Palme D’Or at Cannes. Also nominated that year was “Gaslight”, which is the origin of the term “gaslighting,” a form of psychological abuse.
