This isn't the worst choice award. We all know Crash shouldn't of won best picture over Brokeback or GN GL. I personally think the worst film to ever win the award is American Beauty.

When "Dances With Wolves" won in 1990.
GoodFellas was robbed from a much deserved Oscar. |

Well, American Beauty had it's own controversies. Although there were parts that were rather disturbing or strange, it can be explaned well psychologically. Personally, I didn't really like it that much, but there are factors to why it should have won Best Picture.
Crash deserved to win. From what I have heard about Brokeback Mountain, I'm glad it didn't win Best Picture. For one, I heard that it takes explicit to a new level, and two, I heard that the movie itself wasn't too good. True, the directing was done well, but the plot and the movement of the movie was not done or played out too well. I agree with FreeStickers about Chicago. Chicago has a good storyline, but compared to past winners it just doesn't hold integrity and enough diversity. Chicago winning is in a way, like Phantom of the Opera winning. End of story. |

It's not more explicit than...*thinks up a movie with a sex scene* Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thorton in Monster's Ball and it's certainly not porn. Brokeback Mountain was great, I enjoyed it more than I did Crash, which kind of pissed me off a few days after I saw it, but I said my piece about that in the Oscars thread a while ago. With that said, I don't think Titanic was the best picture the year it was released, neither was Shakespeare In Love (I though Elizabeth was better). |

I am 100% in agreement with what Carrie stated. Brokeback Mountain hardly touched the surface of explicit physical sexuality on screen, in fact, there was only ONE sex scene with the two male leads and it was shadowed. (I thought the Halle Berry/Billy Bob Thornton scene in Monster's Ball was not only explicit, but didn't really add much to the film either)
I also want to point out that not only do I think Shakespeare in Love didn't deserve the Best Film nod (and I think Elizabeth should have won as well), but Gwyneth Paltrow didn't even come CLOSE to deserving the Best Actress award. *sighs* My pick for the worst Best Picture award? Gladiator. I'm not saying it was a bad film, I just think that it didn't hold a torch to Traffic. |

Dances With Wolves.
Braveheart. Titanic. Gladiator. Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. Crash. All pretty awful. But, the most offensive of these is most certainly Titanic, Gladiator, and Crash. Crash most definitely being the worst of the bunch. It's like a bad 80's after-school special on "race relations." What a f**king joke. The Academy seriously doesn't know shit about film. It's just a f**king commercial anyways. |
