It's hard to say how long it lasted because I was in the crapper the whole time during the first academy awards. It normally takes me 3 days to finish but the crap I took that day was much shorter

The Academy Awards normally last about three hours, but the time varies by minutes each year for commercial breaks and longer than anticipated acceptance speeches.
The Best Picture award is a merit of the Academy Awards. It is given annually to one film since 1929. It is considered the most prestigious of the Oscars and is usually saved for last at the actual Academy Awards ceremony.
"Chicago" (2002) won six Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
Walt Disney holds the record for both the most Academy Award nominations (59) and the number of Oscars awarded (22). He also earned four honorary Oscars. His last competitive Academy Award was posthumous.
It recently has been held in either late February or early March. This could change after 2012 because the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences may move the ceremony to January because of the glut of other awards shows before it.
The last 10 Academy Award winners for Best Picture are as follows: 2016 -- "Moonlight" 2015 -- "Spotlight" 2014 -- "Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)." 2013 -- "12 Years a Slave" 2012 -- "Argo" 2011 -- "The Artist" 2010 -- "The King's Speech" 2009 -- "The Hurt Locker" 2008 -- "Slumdog Millionaire" 2007 -- "No Country for Old Men"
