Gravity (2013)
Nominated for 10 Oscars (and this time I can understand why!), it won 7; the most important for Best Director. Sandra Bullock was nominated for best actress in this, but lost to Cate Blanchett.
The Dark Knight (2008)
Was nominated for a whopping 8 Oscars and won two, the one above for Best Sound Editing; and the saddest win in a very long time: that for Heath Ledger's posthumous win for Best Supporting Actor as the Joker. Below his family accept on his behalf.
