and the Oscar goes to really welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 worst Best
Picture Oscar winning movies for this
list we’ve chosen movies that won the
Academy Award for Best Picture but which
we felt were eclipsed by films that
didn’t win or weren’t even nominated the
same year we’re not saying the movies
are bad but in hindsight their
competition was stronger
number ten Driving Miss Daisy Oh what
you talking back one against born on the
fourth of July Dead Poets Society do the
right thing in 1989
movies like do the right thing glory and
Miss Daisy examined race issues albeit
in drastically different ways but only
the story of an elderly Jewish woman and
her kindly black driver nabbed Oscar
gold we’re not suggesting Driving Miss
Daisy as a bad film but the Academy made
the safe choice why on we just leave it
like that number nine Gandhi one against
Tutsi et the extra-terrestrial
sometimes movie stand the test of time
sometimes they don’t
unfortunately this Best Picture winner
falls into the latter category and that
I find hard to bet while Sir Ben
Kingsley’s performance and the film
itself were allotted in their time today
it’s considered an over long corny
snooze fest
you know what movies do stand-up the one
about a boy and an alien and the one
about a guy in drag go figure
an eye for an eye only ends up making
the whole world blind number 8 around
the world in 80 days one against giant
the king and I the ten commandments and
Nagaina dang thing you gonna do about it
people scratch their noggins when this
beat a category full of epic classics
today it’s even crazier to think that a
hot-air balloon
topped Moses the King of Siam and James
Dean around the world was basically a
cash grab with the big name cameos
gimmicky storytelling and overall
spectacle of the film making it one of
the big prizes weakest winners idea and
it’s masks you believe these piece
things at once no woman has ever set
foot in the club why not because that
could spell the end of the petition
number seven oliver 1-1 against funny
girl Romeo and Juliet 2001 a Space
Odyssey the Academy isn’t afraid to
honor a good musical or even a bad one
Oliver is somewhere in the middle with
Charles Dickens timeless tale being told
through big-budget song and dance
numbers 68 was a killer year for cinema
so to think that Oliver brought home the
gold while movies like this weren’t even
nominated is a mind bender I can see
you’re really upset about this number
six how green was my Valley is there
anything I can do
indeed there is one against the Maltese
Falcon Citizen Kane
be reasonable Sam give us a break would
you this film tackles the story of a
poor mining town
not exactly life in the fast lane but
this isn’t a case of the winning movie
necessarily being bad it just competed
against cinematic landmarks did you even
know Citizen Kane didn’t win the Oscar
to be honest the only reason valley is
at all memorable is because it beat
Orson Welles game-changing masterpiece
could I have your attention boys and
girls I am not accustomed to speaking in
public only public houses this use it’s
against the rules
number 5 Dances with Wolves one against
awakenings Ghost Goodfellas the members
of the Academy are suckers for
historically meaningful Civil War epics
and this one even has Native Americans
and subtitles and a dashingly handsome
actor director who tries to save
everyone you can’t beat that
but Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas should
have they must not like the f-word or
apparently Scorsese who was also snubbed
for his 1980 tour de force Raging Bull
kill and all she wrote in her fYI he
finally won for the departed what are
you retarded or something daddy right
number four Chicago one against the Lord
of the Rings the two towers The Pianist
we’ve already mentioned how Oscar voters
feel about musicals pretty much everyone
in this movie was nominated with
Catherine zeta-jones actually winning
Best Supporting Actress well I was in
such a state of shock I completely
blacked out I can’t remember saying but
some critics complain that when it was
adapted to celluloid Chicago lost what
made it a great musical to begin with
but there was another movie that year
with plenty of soul she
number three the English Patient won
against Jerry Maguire Fargo yeah that’s
a good one to put it bluntly this movie
was widely considered don’t just die
already die but sometimes you have to
move past your boredom to truly
appreciate an artistic and beautiful
film no we’re kidding no one wants to
sit through an almost three hours long
romance story set in the desert where
the guy’s face is burnt off you know
what they do want to see precisely or
how about a nice wood chipper
number two Shakespeare and loved one
against Saving Private Ryan in 1998 it
was a triumph of the puff-piece the
Oscars are notoriously dead set against
comedies but Shakespeare is also a
period piece which they loved and it had
some fine acting and a breakthrough
Gwyneth Paltrow performance maybe it was
just time for a change
regardless after crafting one of the
grittiest most realistic and well
regarded world war ii films ever Steven
Spielberg must have been pissed Oh will
you desist
madam number one crash one against
Brokeback Mountain
Capote good night and good luck Munich
you say to these butchers you didn’t
want to share this world with us then we
don’t have to share this room with you
it’s a star-studded carefully inter
woven tale about race but a preachy one
at that you’re embarrassed you embarrass
yourself
when Paul Haggis is crash was announced
as winner you could almost hear the
collective gasp around Hollywood there
were simply so many deserving movies
that year and one in particular that
examined another pressing social issue
in a much more memorable and less
patronizing way
oh all right do you agree with our list
I’m sorry Dave I’m afraid I can’t do
that
which Best Picture winners were you most
surprised about for more top tens about
your favorite and least favorite flicks
