Worst movie to win the Best Picture Oscar?
Comments

Whatever won it the last 5 years. All movies are woke trash now.

I want to say it was Matt Damon, but some actor rightfully pointed out that Best Picture winners should be awarded five years later for Academy voters to take a walk on a beach and get some perspective.
Too many of the winners are fine films, but aren’t the best. Recency bias tends to cloud people’s judgement.
In addition to “Crash”, these are some of the weaker ones that come to mind...
Broadway Melody
Around the World in 80 Days
Shakespeare In Love (sorry @ShakespeareDawg) -

Looking at the list — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Picture — surprised that I'm surprised how few I've seen recently, and I like movies.
2012, I liked Argo but Zero Dark Thirty, Django and Life of Pi all better.
2016, Arrival was robbed.
2018, Green Book was good, but Star Is Born & Favourite way, way better. Bohemian Rhapsody doesn't belong on the list.
Damn, years like 1994 don't come along that often.
Forrest Gump
Four Weddings and a Funeral (meh, but still good)

Good Fellas should have beat @Swaye in 1990, but still the latter was a wonderful film.GrundleStiltzkin said:Looking at the list — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Picture — surprised that I'm surprised how few I've seen recently, and I like movies.
