Prior to "Chicago" (2002), what Musical won an Academy Award for Best Picture?

I'm not sure if "Amadeus" is considered a musical, but it won Best Picture in 1984. If not Amadeus, then "Oliver!" won in 1968, but there again, even though it is adapted from a British stage musical, I'm not sure the movie itself is considered a musical. Finally, I am sure that "The Sound of Music" won in 1965, and THAT is most assurdely a musical. Aug 12 05, 4:28 PM

Looks like "Oliver!" in 1968. I hadn't realized that it had been such a long time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Picture Aug 12 05, 4:30 PM

"Oliver!" is most definitely a musical. I drove my poor parents crazy for days singing "Consider Yourself." "Amadeus," though a very musical film, was not a musical in the generally understood sense of the term. Perhaps if Wolfgang and Salieri had broken into song ... Aug 12 05, 4:40 PM

Well, I'll have to give a Yay to Josh for talking out loud, and to Frankie for double confirmation of Josh's answer. Aug 12 05, 5:29 PM

That would be the musical movie version of "Oliver!" which won in 1968. "Chicago" was the first movie muscial in 34 years to win Best Movie. Aug 12 05, 7:36 PM
