I suppose it goes to show how important release dates are. What's the last movie that won big at the Oscars despite being released quite far out from the awards season? I think the famous one is Silence of the Lambs, which came out at the start of the year then swept the awards, but what big one she have there been since then?

The Hurt Locker came out the Summer of 2009, was highly talked about as an Oscar contender, but was pretty much ignored by the Fall and was subject to "Whatever happened to The Hurt Locker?" headlines by Christmas. Then it got the Best Picture nomination which everyone thought was cool (though this was the year they expanded to 10 nominations, iirc) and it shockingly took home Best Picture.

That's the best I got.
