Let me think on this one..

[Mattrick]

Somebody told me the other day that American Beauty is the second worst film to ever win best picture. It took ever ounce of willpower not to thrash him.

[fernandito]

he wasn't far off tho

[webstar1000]

Like how is there 18 voters and only 17 for T2? WTF

What was the first? The Greatest Show on Earth?

Most people think it's Crash.

[mae]

I like Crash :unsure: I will surely nominate it when times comes :)

[Randall Flagg]

Forrest Gump wasn't the worst to win, but it's a shame it beat out Pulp Fiction. Crash was a good movie, but won as an apology, feel good film for members of the academy.

[Garrell]

Birdman wins for worst ever. Not even close

[Heather19]

I really enjoyed Birdman, but I can see where it's not everyone's cup of tea though. I still can't believe Forest Gump beat Pulp Fiction. That movie is a struggle to watch.

[mae]

I love both Forest Gump and Pulp Fiction!

[St. Troy]

+1. I really liked it, but it was odd.

At least I could finish Gump (which was no prize); I had to bail about a half hour into Pulp Fiction. Everybody raves about it, but I just couldn't take it. It was like a thematic one-joke SNL skit that takes itself too seriously, played straight and for 90 minutes (which may be how some see Birdman).

What?! No way, Birdman was the shit!
