Throughout the 21st century in particular, there’s plenty to pick from.
These aren’t particularly exceptional movies, either, but they’re certainly far better.
Happy Feetis definitely not beyond redemption.

Nevertheless,that doesn’t mean it’s agoodwin quite the contrary.
It’s not the kind of performance that cinephiles like to see win Oscars.
The same can’t be said aboutthe film’s music, which is probably itsworstaspect.
For a musical, this is a lethal sin.

Sadly, that isn’t for a good reason.
It’s one of themost disliked Oscar wins of all time, let alone of the 21st century.
One of those wins includedthe single most unbelievably bad Best Film Editing victoryin the history of the Academy Awards.
With films likeBrokeback Mountainalso having been made in 2005,Crashis most definitelynotthe best motion picture of that year.
Perhaps, but how exactly does this make a movie worthy of the biggest award in the film industry?
It will forever remain a mystery.

The Academy clearly didn’t get the memo back in 2003, though.
