...a movie win your Best Picture without winning anything else? Sort of a "Grand Hotel" of your personal awards? I think I've just hit that milestone in 2019 - "Portrait of a Lady on Fire" is my Best Picture winner without any doubt in my mind but it just so happens that in every other category I give a win to something else. Total spreading of the wealth  Sciamma narrowly loses Best Director to Sam Mendes, Haenel narrowly loses Best Actress to Saoirse Ronan, the script narrowly loses to Parasite and the cinematography loses to 1917. If I cheated and put Haenel in Supporting then she'd easily demolish her competition but I ain't interested in betraying my personal feeling about her performance's placement (she's clearly lead for me). |

Her 2013 (nearly misses screenplay for Nebraska)
Wall-E too but I don't really do animated seperately (which it would take by default if I did.)

Mississippi Burning. I gave Director and Cinematography to Talk Radio, Screenplay to Big, Editing to Die Hard, and had to snub most of the actors entirely.

Good question.
In 2016 I'm torn if I give Best Picture to Moonlight or Your Name. If it's the latter one it would be my only win for it (obviously animated films have rather a chance to achieve that).
I just looked it up: In 1996 (one of my least favourite years) Best Picture is actually the only award I give to Sling Blade, which is second in Screenplay and Leading Actor.

2010: True Grit. It's my runner-up in a shitload of categories, but it only takes Best Picture.

2017: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (McDormand just loses to Robbie, Rockwell just loses to Keoghan and the script just loses to Get Out).

I'm glad you loved Portrait. It's such a beautiful film  To answer the question, not yet but my lineups only go back to 1960. The Witch comes closest because I have Eggers' directing behind Andrea Arnold's and Damien Chazelle's and Ralph Ineson behind Ogata and Ali, and it isn't top 3 in any other categories, but it nabs directorial debut so I technically give it two wins. I've had lots of BPs with only two wins. |

Nope. But I'm sitting in the theater waiting Portrait to start!

The Florida Project, 2017.
Loses director to Gerwig, supporting actor to Stuhlbarg, editing to Dunkirk. I'd also nominate the stars for Youth and Breakthrough performances, but they're beat by Sophia Lillis and Barry Keoghan.
Interesting it's 2017 for everyone but with different movies.

I only go back about 15 years right now with actual thought out lineups for every single category. Don't have any just winning Best Picture, but came really close in 2017. I have Mother! only also winning for Sound Mixing.

Safe in 1995. I give Wong Kar-wai my Director win for Fallen Angels, Clueless my Original Screenplay win and Meryl Streep my Actress win for The Bridges of Madison County.
