Oscar-winning Noir

These are film noir movies that won Academy Awards during the movement's classical period, roughly 1941–1959. I've used an expansive definition of noir, so some of these may not be universally recognized as parts of the movement.

See also Oscar-nominated Noir for film noir movies that were nominated for Academy Awards.
