A list of American films released in 1927.

1927 Academy Award nominees

The 1st Academy Awards were presented in Los Angeles on May 16, 1929 at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. The ceremonies were hosted by Douglas Fairbanks. 1927 films released between July 1 and December 31 were eligible for the initial awards.

Wings, released in August 1927, won the Academy Award for Best Picture and Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans, released in September 1927, won in the other Best Picture category (presented only once) — Unique and Artistic Production. There were two other nominees for Best Picture — 7th Heaven, initially released in May 1927, before the eligibility period, but subsequently re-released in September — and 1928's The Racket. The other two nominees for Unique and Artistic Production were: Chang: A Drama of the Wilderness (released in April 1927, also before the eligibility period, but still in general distribution after July 1) and 1928's The Crowd.
