I actually did watch other shows. I watched Alien Earth in the morning. I also watched The Great North on Hulu. I always watch jeopardy at night, I just don’t put it in the diary, kind of not like putting the News here either. I did not watch jeopardy last night either, as it airs on an ABC affiliate.

The 10 Worst Best Picture Wins Of All Time

John Stark

So, on the flip side of the list from yesterday, what are my 10 least favorite wins? I left Wings off the list, simply because it was the beginning of the Oscars. But if I was going based off of just my personal enjoyment, I did not actually enjoy Wings. yes, I saw it in film school. But, I’d have to replace it with something, and I don’t know that it wasn’t actually the best film of that year. So, wings got a pass. #10- Gone With the Wind (1939) I know this is a HOT take. This is a … Continue reading The 10 Worst Best Picture Wins Of All Time
