15 Movies That Never Should’ve Won the ‘Best Picture’ Oscar

This post originally appeared on Mediaite on Feb. 28, 2014. It has been republished for Oscar weekend 2015.

It’s Oscar weekend and that means it’s time to complain about what was snubbed or what was undeserving of a nomination. Let’s face it: Year after year, we watch these awards ceremonies, even though everyone has a strong opinion about this, that, and the other snub.

Truth is Academy voters do tend to make bizarre decisions, leading to these 15 movies, for example, that clearly did not deserve to take home the big prize in their respective years. Feel free to agree or disagree and leave your thoughts in the comments section, where I will promptly disregard them.

Enjoy:
