EW's Most Overrated Oscar Winning Films By Movie Info [147 more lists]
The Academy Award for Best Picture is the most prestigious film award in Hollywood, yet some years the awards seemed like a hoax. These movies did not deserve to win the Oscar for Best Picture but were really just average movies compared to the other films they were going against in the category. It's a shame that these films got tremendous recognition when other, more well-deserved movies did not get their praise. This list of Best Picture films comprise of works that deserve to be applauded but definitely do not deserve the Golden Man.
