If a studio thinks that they have a film that might win Best Picture, then they usually release it to theaters in December, so that it is still prominent in the memory of the Academy members when they vote in January and February. Since 1980, only 9 out of 31 winning films were not released in October, November or December:
- 1980 Ordinary People - September
- 1984 Amadeus - September
- 1991 The Silence of the Lambs - February! That will probably never happen again
- 1992 Unforgiven - August
- 1994 Forrest Gump- July
- 1995 Braveheart - May
- 2000 Gladiator- May
- 2005 Crash - May
- 2009 The Hurt Locker - June (though no one saw it in theaters)
