Every year around this time, we debate Oscar best pictures, from what's going to win to rethinking which films should have won to the greatest movies in Academy Awards history.Granted, bad movies usually don't get a shot at taking the biggest prize on Oscar night, but mediocre projects, occasional head-scratchers and the odd controversial pot-stirrer do make their way into best picture from time to time – and some even win.
Knowing that the actual best picture unfortunately doesn't always win, here are the 10 worst winners that the Oscars have awarded, ranked according to comparative terribleness.Who will win Academy Awards – and who shouldISHIKA MOHAN/FOX SEARCHLIGHTThe story of an orphaned young man who rises from the slums to win the Indian version of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” – only for his victory to be questioned because of his background – is 99% of a very fine film.
James Stewart , Cornel Wilde and Charlton Heston star under the big top in "The Greatest Show on Earth."Legendary filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille’s resume included “Cleopatra” and “Samson and Delilah” before winning best picture for “Greatest Show.” But it was more of a career “Atta boy!” than an award for the actual movie, an ostentatious and forgettable three-ring ode to P.T. Barnum’s circus – with Jimmy Stewart and Charlton Heston, no less! – that somehow beat “High Noon.
Hank is part of a sister act that boyfriend Eddie wants to use in a new show in "The Broadway Melody."The second best picture winner was the first sound movie to win Oscar, following the silent film “Wings.” It easily could have won worst picture, too. There’s novelty but not much else with this musical about two vaudevillian sisters who hoof it to Broadway and find showtunes, out-of-nowhere story interludes that don’t fit and a ton of romantic malarkey.
