This is a list of presenters of Best Picture Academy Award. Each year, the Academy Award for Best Picture is presented by one or more artists on behalf of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Since 1973, Best Picture is the final award presented during the annual ceremonies, as this award represents a culmination of all factors that contribute to cinematic excellence. Past presenters have included noted producers, directors, actors, and actresses. In recent ceremonies, presenters of Best Picture have tended to be previous Academy Award winners themselves. The individual who has presented the most times is Jack Nicholson (eight times), followed by Audrey Hepburn (four times) and Warren Beatty (four times).
^† At the 89th Academy Awards, the presenters of the award, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, mistakenly announced La La Land as the winner of Best Picture, after they had been given the envelope for Best Actress – containing the name of Emma Stone and La La Land, the film for which she won Best Actress. A few minutes later, after the mistake came to light, one of La La Land's producers, Jordan Horowitz, informed the audience that Moonlight was the true winner.[65]
