The Academy Award for Best Picture is the most prestigious award that the industry can give, even if it doesn’t always go to the right film. More often than not, the Oscars opt to award something that feels relevant at the time, even if it doesn’t end up aging well; this might explain why How Green Was My Valley beat Citizen Kane, or how The King’s Speech beat The Social Network. The difference is that while How Green Was My Valley and The King’s Speech are still worthwhile films in their own right, there are some Best Picture winners that didn’t even deserve their nominations.
