Watch our Oscar “Best Picture” Retrospective for 2005 (video)

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

In this recurring series we take a look at the Oscar nominations of years past, examining the flicks that were nominated, as well as the pic we feel got snubbed among all the other candidates. Love 'em or hate 'em, the Oscars usually highlight the best films from each year (although there are plenty that get overlooked) and it's always fun to look back and see what was popular for any given year and to contemplate their legacy in retrospect. This time we take a look at 2005's nominees (for movies made in 2004), including THE AVIATOR, SIDEWAYS, FINDING NEVERLAND, MILLION DOLLAR BABY and RAY.

2004 Nominees (for films released in 2003):

– THE AVIATOR
– FINDING NEVERLAND
– SIDEWAYS
– MILLION DOLLAR BABY
– RAY

Winner: MILLION DOLLAR BABY
