How did that beat out "E.T.," "Missing," "Tootsie" and "The Verdict" that year?

My vote would have to go to 1980 - Ordinary People. It was such a dumper of a movie. But I have to agree with you that Gandhi should not have beaten E.T. or Tootsie - they are both great movies. In fact, I recently bought E.T. on DVD for my son. He loves it.

No Country For Old Men. That was THE worst movie I think I have ever seen. I was tempted to demand money back for such a waste of my time!!

2005 - Crash won. I didn't like that movie at all. I to this day don't know how it beat Capote and Brokeback Mountain. Crash shouldn't even be mentioned in the same category as Capote and Brokeback Mountain

I never understood how Chicago got in.

Have you ever seen Gandhi? You're way off with any of those movies being real Best Picture Material.

But I think you were one year off. 1981 - Chariots of Fire won. Awful movie.

Grand Hotel, which won at the 5th Annual Oscars is the worst one I've seen so far. Also, I did not like Chicago at all and I believe that there were so many better films that year that deserved it (i.e. The Gangs of New York, The Pianist, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Road To Perdition, Adaptation, About Schmidt, Catch Me If You Can, About A Boy, Y Tu Mama Tambien, 8 Mile, Spellbound, even Spider-Man, etc.)

Crash.

"The Greatest Show on Earth" (1952), an absolutely ludicrous epic about the circus, starring Charlton Heston as the ringmaster and Jimmy Stewart as a clown with a Dark Secret. Cecil B. DeMille directed it, in the over-the-top style that was his trademark. Somehow, it beat "High Noon" and "The Quiet Man" that year, not to mention "Singin' in the Rain," which wasn't even nominated.
