Top 10 WORST Movies to Win Multiple Oscars

In this video, creator Brian Rowe ranks the 10 worst movies that managed to win two or more Academy Awards. He notes that while some notoriously bad Oscar winners (like Shakespeare in Love or Driving Miss Daisy) are frequently discussed, he intentionally selected a mix of widely recognized disappointments and other titles he finds particularly poor to keep the list fresh.

The Ranking:

1. Alice in Wonderland (2010): (16:43-20:36) The #1 pick. Brian describes it as an "ugly" and poorly paced film. He finds it egregious that it won Best Costume Design and Best Art Direction, especially over films like Inception.
2. Dr. Dolittle (1967): (14:26-16:21) A box-office flop that surprisingly earned nine nominations and two wins, including Best Original Song for "Talk to the Animals."
3. Crash (2005): (13:17-14:25) A frequent topic of discussion for the creator, he highlights its win for Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Film Editing as unjustified.
4. Hello, Dolly! (1969): (11:05-13:16) Another box-office flop that managed three wins in technical categories, despite the creator finding the lead performance and chemistry lacking.
5. Bohemian Rhapsody (2018): (9:12-11:04) The creator heavily criticizes its editing, calling the Oscar win for Film Editing one of the worst of the decade.
6. Cimarron (1931): (7:29-9:11) An early western the creator finds "dreadful" and boring, yet it managed to win three Oscars, including Best Picture.
7. Earthquake (1974): (5:55-7:28) Deemed a "dreadful" disaster film that won a special achievement award and Best Sound.
8. How the West Was Won (1962): (3:46-5:54) The creator found this lumbering western to be poorly edited, despite it winning three Academy Awards.
9. The Good Earth (1937): (2:17-3:45) Criticized for its aging themes and a lackluster performance, it won two Oscars, including Best Cinematography.
10. Les Misérables (2012): (1:00-2:16) While noting Anne Hathaway's deserved win, the creator felt the film was boring and did not merit its additional wins for Makeup/Hairstyling and Sound Mixing.
