"The Academy doesn't always get it right when it comes to nominations & awards alike. That's especially true in retrospect, with previous nominees & winners showing their age over time. What was once considered classic may now seem relatively subpar, or at the very least, insignificant. Why does a lackluster film get nominated in the first place? Sometimes, the movie exhibits certain anachronisms that enrapture audiences at the time, but poorly date themselves, or the studio aggressively campaigned during awards season. Then there are just the bad movie years, in which the cream of the crop is still somewhat inferior to the films that came before and after. Stacker gathered all of the movies nominated for Best Picture from 1927 to 2025, and based on data as of 2/6/25, ranked the lowest 25 in the group by IMDb user rating, with #1 being the 'worst.' Ties were broken based on the number of user votes, & films had to have at least 1,500 votes to be considered for this list." - stacker.com
