While The Academy Awards celebrate cinematic excellence, not every award-winning film resonates equally with audiences. Despite the recognition bestowed upon Oscar winners, only a handful of movies that gross over $1 billion at the box office have been nominated for 'Best Picture.'

Among the plethora of films acknowledged over the awards' nearly century-long history, only a select few mega-hits earn nominations, reflecting a disparity between critical acclaim and audience preferences.
