Least Favorite Films That Won Oscars

[Watershipdownisgood]

So while I don’t watch or care for the Oscars anymore I have seen some of the films that have won Oscars that I didn’t like one being Out of Africa winning best picture over a number of other better titles I probably forgot. Anyways I actually despise this film it’s one of the most boring generic romantic dramas I’ve ever seen. It’s also a film I almost fell asleep watching it’s slow, boring and it’s probably one of if not my least favorite film of all time that won a number of Oscars.

And honestly I don’t know why something this boring and generic won it’s literally just a film for the actors to have a vacation in Africa and have a romantic relationship in the film. That is all this film is no wonder nobody remembers this boring turd of a film.

Anyways what are your least favorite Oscar winners that won Oscars that didn’t deserve the Oscars they got? As mine is Out of Africa but there’s some others I also didn’t like but Out of Africa is the main offender for me.

Forrest Gump is what always comes to mind first.

Birdman, one of the worst films I've ever seen.

[Egbert Souse]

It Happened One Night, Casablanca, Ben-Hur, Lawrence of Arabia, A Man for All Seasons, The Godfather, Amadeus, The Silence of the Lambs...

I really like your Stryper profile image it’s cool I agree Forrest Gump was bad but at least for me unintentionally bad even after rewatching it again and again. While Out of Africa for me on the other hand is just plain boring and just so dull and it’s one of the few Oscar winners I refuse to buy physically Blu Ray or otherwise.

Crash

Crash I haven’t watched it yet but is it that bad and as overdramatic as people say it is. Because from clips I’ve seen it totally seems like it.

This may not be the worst post on this forum, but it's close.

They started a thread in that forum too. Maybe next is starting one in the 4K forum.

Rocky! Only because it beat Taxi Driver though!

[Watershipdownisgood]

Nope just these two it’s interesting hearing other people’s films they believe shouldn’t have won Oscars hearing other people’s least favorites means a wide variety of different films whether I agree with them or not.

Delete this. Now.

The big one for me is Gone With The Wind. It’s one of the most overrated, overblown, pretentious films ever. There’s no plot whatsoever (there’s many subplots, but no actual plot), the characters are either repulsive or idiotic (or sometimes both), it’s woefully inaccurate to the point that it ceases to even count as historical fiction, and it’s long at the worst possible parts (it literally spends two hours coming off the climax).

Having only seen two films from 1939 (this and The Wizard Of Oz), I already know GWTW is not the best picture of 1939, one of the most overrated Oscar winners and Best Picture winners ever, and due to the stature it’s been given over the years it’s probably the most overrated film ever.
