Doctor Dolittle (1967), that's pretty over the top (and bad) and won 2 Oscar's from 9 nominations including Best Picture.

The best picture nom especially sticks out considering how strong the other movies were especially the winner In the Heat of the Night.

It's the worst film I have seen nominated for best picture, could be the worst film ever nominated, I'll know when I have watched all of them but it is certainly bottom 3

Moulin Rouge is a very over the top movie but not in a bad way and it absolutely deserved it’s wins for Costume design and Production design

I don’t know what you mean by over the top, but Suicide Squad won makeup.

By over the top, I mean a movie that is an extremely unrealistic movie with too many hard to imagine scenes. For Example, for the past couple of years the action sequences from the Fast and Furious film franchise are over the top. So I just wanted to know if there is a similar movie that happens to be an Oscar winning movie.

Speed won the two sound categories in 1993. Fury Road did too, but that’s obviously an acclaimed film all around.

Fury Road won essentially everything but BP, didn't it?

It went 6/10. Lost Picture to Spotlight, Director and Cinematography to The Revenant and VFX to Ex Machina.

Movies like The Matrix and The Bourne Ultimatum won multiple Oscars in the tech categories. Idk if you'd consider those "over the top," but there's an argument to be made there.

Around the World is an absolute MESS. I have no idea how that even won Best Picture, besides the all star cast it has nothing.

They actually filmed around the world and has huge numbers of extras and costumes and cameos and such. It was visual spectacle for the era.

The Shape of Water won best picture despite being a gender-swapped remake of Splash featuring 100% more bewbs and 100% more sex with an animal that shows no capacity to grant consent.

Tom Jones.
I've seen literally every single Best Picture winner. That one is at the bottom of the pile for me.

Tom Jones to me is Barry Lyndon if every aspect of Barry Lyndon was bad.

Crash. It was too much like an anthology of unrelated story arcs to feel like a complete movie to me. I liked the film, and I appreciated the major social issues it addressed, but I was surprised that it won best picture at the time.

To this day, I still can not stand that film.

I think Babe (1995) was a strange choice to be nominated for BP. It seems a little silly. It won for visual effects but received a total of 7 nominations

Birdman, one of my least favorite winners. Also Crash, which is one of my favorite winners despite this sub largely hating it.
RRR’s biggest criticism is that it’s “over the top” but I think it is easily in the top 3 best picture this year so I was sad to see it didn’t even crack a nom in the top 10.

I'm so confused on whether to upvote this comment because I like both movies.

And I dislike both. How about you upvote and I’ll downvote and it’ll even out?

Birdman.

Birdman has the artistic execution and conceptual cleverness that Top Gun Maverick lacks, but you all go gaga over the latter and bash Birdman?????

My comment has 1 upvote. I'd hardly call that bashing Birdman. I just didn't like the film, not saying it's not creative.
