2007 – Actual Winner: The Departed

This crime drama directed by Martin Scorsese took home the trophy in 2006 and received a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

2007 – Should Have Won: The Queen

2008 – Actual Winner: No Country For Old Men

The always-acclaimed Coen Brothers predictably won Best Picture that night and rated 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. However, average viewers at home had a different film in mind.
