These are the top-grossing films 2003-2022, according to Box Office Mojo:
2022 Top Gun: Maverick
2021 Spider-Man: No Way Home
2020 Bad Boys for Life
2019 Avengers: Endgame
2018 Black Panther
2017 Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi
2016 Finding Dory
2015 Jurassic World
2014 Guardians of the Galaxy
2013 Iron Man 3
2012 The Avengers
2011 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2
2010 Avatar
2009 Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
2008 The Dark Knight
2007 Spider-Man 3
2006 Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
2005 Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
2004 Shrek 2
2003 Finding Nemo
Those are US domestic box office figures by calendar year. Wikipedia's list, which covers worldwide box office and seems to be well-sourced, produces some different results but it counts the years differently so it's difficult to make comparisons (it puts Avatar in 2009, for example).
Whatever, none of the movies 2003-2023 won the Academy Award for Best Picture. None of the directors of these movies won the Academy Award for Best Director. None of the leading actors in these movies won the Academy Award for Best Actor for their role. None of the leading actresses in these movies won the Academy Award for Best Actress for their role.
The people who are complaining that the top-grossing film of 2023, Barbie, ought to be winning the Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director or Best Actress should not be surprised.
