Best Oscar winners for Best Picture from the last 10 years?

Susan Wright12 said:Honestly, the funniest Oscar win has to be for Gosford Park, especially considering how much improvisation was baked into that whole thing per Altman's direction. It feels like such a silly way to hand out an award.

I mean, what's the alternative here? Should we just start disqualifying movies from the running because they didn't stick strictly to the script? Does one little moment of improv suddenly make you ineligible for a trophy?

Nah, honestly, it's just such a blatant example of how those screenplay awards are basically nothing more than consolation prizes for the Best Picture nominees.

The best screenplay doesn't always result in the best movie, and I guess the best movie doesn't necessarily need the best screenplay either.

It’s just an observation, really, but then we go around calling certain films masterpieces.

I know this movie won an Oscar over twenty years ago, and I realize I've drifted off topic, but for me, Miloš Forman's "Amadeus" is the best film ever to take home a statuette.
