This film jumped the gun. What Best Picture winner was the first to be released on VHS before winning an Oscar?
Answer The Silence of the Lambs
Prior to the awards ceremony, The Silence of the Lambs had been released on VHS and laserdisc in October, after having been released in theaters in February of 1991. It was the first film to have done so – and also the first horror movie to take home Best Picture.
