What are you people talking about Million Dollar Baby SHOULD HAVE WON when in fact IT DID win Best Picture in 2005...?!
Anyway, here's my list:
2000: I'm good with American Beauty

2005: I'm good with Million Dollar Baby
2006: I'm good with Crash

2008: Atonement

I'm not good with the advice. Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?
Gross, it's one of those people who count Oscar winners by the year they received the Oscar, not by the year the movie was released.
Even the most primitive society has an innate respect for the insane.
disclaimer: I have not seen all the nominated films in this time, so my opinion obviously counts for less than those who have.
With that out of the way...
2000 - Gladiator
2001 - Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
2002 - The Pianist
2003 - Mystic River
2004 - Million Dollar Baby
2005 - Munich (Good Night, and Good Luck a worth runner-up)
2006 - The Departed
2007 - No Country for Old Men
2008 - Frost/Nixon
2009 - A Serious Man

2000 - Gladiator (no change)
2001 - The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (although A Beautiful Mind was still great)
2002 - The Pianist
2003 - Mystic River (Master and Commander and Lord of the Rings tied for a close second)
2004 - Finding Neverland (only one I've seen, so I can't really say)
2005 - Good Night, and Good Luck (Amazing year for films! I'd say any nominated film other than Crash should have won.)
2006 - The Departed (no change)
2007 - There Will Be Blood (Another amazing year. No Country for Old Men and Atonement were both fantastic, but There Will Be Blood is one of the best films of all time.)
2008 - Frost/Nixon (Curious Case of Benjamin Button virtually tied for first)
2009 - Up (I'm completely serious. Up was the best nominated film that year.)
