Oscar History Challenge 2026

Progress: 14/52
My first time doing this one, I'm attempting it along with the current Criterion Challenge, as my long watchlist is filled with films on one list or the other, not always both. Making my lists I found very few overlapped. Doing this one will also remind me of films I missed that I still want to see. I love the Oscars, I love films and I am looking forward to this challenge. If there are titles I've seen before, it's been 20 years or more (unless otherwise noted) and they were on my rewatch list
