We are now in the thick of WWII, therefore it's only fitting that a war picture should take the top prize. Used as a movie to help raise the spirits of the British forces, Mrs. Miniver became the highest grossing picture of 1942 and was nominated for twelve Academy Awards; five of those were in the acting categories. Tune in as we break down this phenomenal movie and highlight other important films recognized at this ceremony.

One of the first truly controversial years! 1941 became a showdown between How Green Was My Valley and the epic masterpiece that is Citizen Kane.

We have reached a new decade and with it we have the only Alfred Hitchcock movie to win Best Picture: Rebecca.

We have come to the "Golden Year" of Hollywood. 1939 includes some of the greatest movies of all time in its Best Picture line-up.

It is time for a good old fashioned, wholesome movie. 1938 saw Frank Capra win his third Oscar for Best Director and his second for Best Picture.
