Ranking the Best Picture Oscar Lineups of the 2000s

I've still got over 100 Best Picture nominees to see, but I've seen most from recent decades. Keep in mind, these are my rankings of the Best Picture lineups, and not the winners. (Note: I thought the 2010s were too short to rank at the moment.) Winners are in bold and pictured below.

Pygmalion (1938) vs. My Fair Lady (1964)

My Fair Lady is the famed musical version of Pygmalion, but both films have garnered their share of praise. (SPOILERS)
