Film Friday: 10 Best Picture nominees that should have won from 'The Grapes of Wrath' to 'Raging Bull'

6. A Streetcar Named Desire - 1951, directed by Elia Kazan (lost to An American In Paris)

I love the MGM musicals. I really do. But A Streetcar Named Desire should have beat An American In Paris. George Stevens' A Place in the Sun could have won, too, but Streetcar - with its scorching hot acting class and incredible directing from Elia Kazan – was practically made to win Best Picture. Three of the four main castmbmebers (Kim Hunter, Vivien Leigh and Karl Malden) won Oscars, but Marlon Brando lost to Bogart.
