What's the worst film to have ever won the Oscar for best picture?

>shape of water

It will always and forever hang in the air that it was THAT movie where the actress fucked a fish.

Spotlight was good. Though I personally would have rather seen The Revenant get it since it was much more deserving of it (being a better picture overall, it probably didn't win because the Academy didn't want to give Inarritu two wins in a row). There weren't many other better options that year: Fury Road was well made, and looked great but was ultimately shallow and devoid of substance. Room was good but not "best picture of the year" good. It wasn't that ambitious or significant to deserve it. Bridge of Spies did nothing new, though was also pretty good. The Big Short was not bad, and a very interesting film, but it tried way too hard to be clever and smarter than it actually is. Brooklyn and The Martian were unremarkable in every way possible and most likely just nominated as "fillers".

return of the king

Green Book

Fuck you kike, it was oscar bait but it was pretty decent.

No Country for Old Men. It was boring, long, and had a pointless ending that didn't go anywhere

This. Ooh faggot niggers how cinematic.

Yea crash, it's almost tv movie bad

kek spotlights about faggot priests

Pretty on point but you forgot a couple
>Amadeus
>One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest

Amadeus and Annie Hall are actually worse than Crash. At least Crash didn't rewrite history or just have a no plot film with an unfunny lead. Crash also had a message to it

fpbp and /thread

Both of those movies are far better especially amadeus, crash was nothing but melodramatic schlock shoving its gay "message" cock down your throat. It won because it had every star in hollywood in it

Crash, absolutely.

1998.
‘Shakespeare in Love’ won against,
-‘Elizabeth’
-‘The Thin Red Line’
-and ‘Saving Private Ryan’

The English Patient winning against Fargo.
Crash is the worst overall though.

>t. Salieri

>Crash also had a message to it
So does yelling BRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAP when I'm balls deep in ur mum lol, that doesn't mean I should get any awards for it.

Are you guys certified brainlets or...?

It won because of harvey weinstein, all he cared about was awards

Amadeus just rewrote history. Annie Hall has no plot. Crash has a message and many people like it. People don't even remember Amadeus and people call Annie Hall the movie that should've lost to Star Wars

One Flew over The Cuckoo's Nest is the worst, dude. It's 30 min too long and Jack is a bad actor bc he always acts the same, and the story makes no sense and its pointless

Oh shit I was thinking about Moonlight.

Your moronic post proves my point lol Get out, retard

Cope harder you absolute faggot

Who cares about a plot annie hall had a story about a relationship done with some subtlety. You seem to like movies where everything is spelled out to you in an over exaggerated way
>star wars
>crash

How, and why?

out of the ones i've seen: the departed or crash

This. Honestly most of them should not have won when you look at the far superior movies they won over. Maybe not actually most but I would bet a majority of them had far better runners up.

Nice counter-argument, retard boy lol

Forrest Gump's fucking rubbish, Crash was a stupid compromise choice and although it won't be a popular opinion Braveheart's as rough as a badger's arse as well too long by a third. Also it's impossible not to be cynical about Moonlight.

i've seen spotlight twice and i still don't remember a single thing about it

Star Wars has a deep and complex mythology retard lol Sorry, I just like movies where the writers give a damn and also don't like to change history (with the one exception to Inglorious Bastards)

That too.

thinking about how fucking gay and stupid this post is desu

Moonlight didn't win lol (and is a good movie)

>I just like movies where the writers give a damn and also don't like to change history except when I don't

k

Amadeus message is that it's not up to us to question God'will, for example his will to give godly talents to people unworthy of them.

This and a circle wank over mahersha ali or whatever his name is

Try making an actual argument next time, although I know it might hurt your pea sized brain

Star wars was practically a b movie which became a hit to the surprise of everyone involved. Which is why george lucas was constantly tweaking it after it came out even he initially didn't put much thought into it

Yeah, 1 exception but that's because it was self aware so it worked. Amadeus tried to pass it off as real

Yiks imagine believing in God lol user I got some bad news for you

black panther

>People don't even remember Amadeus
imagine forgetting about these milkers

Imagine knowing wrestling is not real and still being able to enjoy it

>Which is why george lucas was constantly tweaking it after it came out even he initially didn't put much thought into it

Ummm… he did put thought into it retard lol it was called episode FOUR because he had planned a whole world with many set pieces and stories to tell

>Amadeus is worse than Crash
literally never post here ever again

Spotlight is very bland, but it's not bad.
Crash is probably the worst one

Pretty sure it did win. And it's a shit movie even though I didn't watch it.

Ok now you're trolling episode 4 was put in after

You like your alt right safe space here where nobody can have a different opinion or else Yea Forums npcs shout "reddit" lol

That was the scandal at that Oscars. Warren Beatty said Moonlight won and then realised he said the wrong movie, that ryan gosling emma stone musical thing was the real winner

Shakespeare in Love

Nah

That's literally the opposite of what happened

>Weinstein strong-armed the movie’s talent into participating in an unprecedented blitzkrieg of press. “It all began with Harvey,” said one publicist with a client in the film. “I don’t remember ever feeling pressure like that from other studios. He was like, ‘Can you do these radio call-ins all morning?’ He calls the clients directly and guilts them.
Sounds like he was just a hard worker and advertised to the right people. I don't see an issue

2001: ASO & Saving Private Ryan not winning was a fucking travesty

Moonlight did win you retarded faggot

Moonlight was literally the worst. I don't even care that it's about faggot niggers, but it was so goddamn boring.

It could have been 20 mins long and it wouldn't have mattered.

Argo, Patton

Underrated post.

Crash, Green Book, Braveheart

Top 3 worst:
Crash
Crash
Crash

this

the part where he legitimately broke the academy rules was kind of villainous. they let it happen though so that brings it back around to noble.

LotR didn't deserve best picture

Black Panther if it won anything

best picture by volume

It deserved all the other oscars, but not best picture

kind of a shit year, obviously it'd win fx and cinematography though.

um sweety are you retarded

They just nominated shit so LotR could win

The Hurt Locker

lol nobody said reddit but you freud

I was 20ish when I saw it for the first time and I thought it was a fantastic movie.

Shape of water

Gentleman's Agreement. Just a really dull, heavyhanded movie, and possibly Kazan's worst.

You don't deserve the air that you breathe cretin.

They should have won three times for all three movies, they got snubbed twice

Mrs Miniver (Should have been Magnificent Ambersons)
Going My Way (Should have deen Double Indemnity)
Hamlet (Should have been The Red Shoes)
Around the World In 80 Days (Should have been 10 Commandments)
Gigi (Should have been Cat On The Hot Tin Roof)
Sound of Music (Should have been Dr Zhivago)
In the Heat of the Night (Should have been Bonnie and Clyde)
Patton (Should have been Five Easy Pieces)
Out of Africa (Should have been anything fucking else)

The worst offender to me is Out of Africa.

Agreed. I blame the LOTR film series (and the academy's praise for it) as the beginning of the end of Hollywood. It ushered in the normie acceptance of "nerd culture" which in turn resulted in giant franchise blockbuster megalith that is modern Hollywood.

>Five Easy Pieces over Patton

>jack always acts the same
this doesn't matter if his style fits the film, and that movie was still better than some of the other shit thta has won, I'm not sure anything was worse than crash

Five easy pieces is one of the best films of the 1970's. Patton, while good, does not reach its greatness in any way,

Out of Africa

Boring pretentious garbage that goes on for nearly 3 hours.

A pointless film. Easily the worst.

Argo only won coz of affleck it was trash, at least it ended in Jennifer dumping him and ruined his life, Fuck you Ben affleck for stealing Life of Pi oscar

hello r/movies

Recently watched Driving Miss Daisy for the first time. It has not aged well. Not in a racism way, but just in a general moviemaking way. I can't believe it won just a year before Rain Man won, which feels a decade newer, and would not feel dated if it came out today.

Shakespeare in love.
And look at what it beat out, too.

Take your meds grandpa, nobody cares about your archaic steam powered films.
