I think when they call something "N-Year Best Picture", it goes by the year of the movie's release date. The 2016 Best Picture, for example, is
Moonlight. And a spoiler tag would've been nice.
I edited to add the spoiler tag. And yes, the award is for the year, not the year in which it is awarded. Just like how the Super Bowl is played in 2020, but it will crown the 2019 NFL champion.
