===Remake nominations and winners=== Along similar lines to sequels, there have been few nominees and winners that are either remakes or adaptations of the same source materials or subjects. ''[[Ben-Hur (1959 film)|Ben-Hur]]'', which won Best Picture of 1959, is a remake of the [[Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ (1925 film)|1925 silent film with a similar title]] and both were adapted from [[Lew Wallace]]'s 1880 novel ''[[Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ]]''. ''[[The Departed]]'', which won Best Picture of 2006, is a remake of the 2002 [[Hong Kong cinema|Hong Kong]] film ''[[Infernal Affairs]]'' and is the first remake of a non-English language or international film to win. Other nominees include 1963's ''[[Cleopatra (1963 film)|Cleopatra]]'' about the [[Cleopatra|titular last queen of Egypt]] following the [[Cleopatra (1934 film)|1934 version]], 2018's ''[[A Star Is Born (2018 film)|A Star is Born]]'' following the [[A Star Is Born (1937 film)|1937 film of the same name]], and 2019's ''[[Little Women (2019 film)|Little Women]]'' following the [[Little Women (1933 film)|1933 film of the same name]] with both being adaptations of the [[Little Women|1868 novel]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/greta-gerwigs-adaptation-brings-little-women-oscar-noms-tally-14-1268988/|title=Oscars: Greta Gerwig's Adaptation Brings 'Little Women' Noms Tally to 14|first1=Jordan|last1=Wilson|website=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|date=January 13, 2020|access-date=March 26, 2022|archive-date=March 18, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220318173856/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/greta-gerwigs-adaptation-brings-little-women-oscar-noms-tally-14-1268988/|url-status=live}}</ref> ''[[True Grit (2010 film)|True Grit]]'', which was nominated for Best Picture at the [[83rd Academy Awards]], is the second adaptation of [[Charles Portis]]'s [[True Grit (novel)|1968 novel]] following the [[True Grit (1969 film)|1969 film of the same name]].
