There is no Best Producer credit. That is why Brad Pitt didn't win (or was even nominated) for producing The Departed.

This scene from Wag the Dog sums it up:

My bad. Although there is no Best Producer award per sé, it's actually the producer who is credited with receiving the Best Picture award.

Here is more info from Wikipedia:

Originally the production company was presented the award until 1950 whereupon all credited producers were able to receive the award. This rule was modified in 1998, when a three-producer limit was applied due to all five producers of Shakespeare in Love receiving the award.

As of 2014, the "Special Rules for the Best Picture of the Year Award" limit recipients to those who meet two main requirements:

##those with screen credit of "producer" or "produced by"
##those three or fewer producers who have performed the major portion of the producing functions

The rules permit "bona fide team[s] of not more than two people to be considered to be a single 'producer' if the two individuals have had an established producing partnership for at least the previous five years and as a producing team have produced a minimum of five theatrically-released feature motion pictures during that time.

The Academy can make exceptions to the limit, as when Anthony Minghella and Sydney Pollack were posthumously among the four producers nominated for The Reader. As of 2014 it is the Producers Branch Executive Committee that makes such exceptions, only in "rare and extraordinary circumstance[s]."

Though Brad Pitt is considered a producer, the Academy decides which producer was more hands-on/responsible for producing the film.

This. The producer(s) get the Best Picture Oscar - if the movie has a ton of them (as many do these days), the Academy decides who gets the trophies.
