According to critics (https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/oscars-best-and-worst-best-pictures/), The Broadway Melody (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/TheBroadwayMelody) and The Greatest Show on Earth (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/YMMV/TheGreatestShowOnEarth) are the two-lowest rated Best Picture winners (https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/best-picture-oscar-winners-from-worst-to-best/3/), but they're somewhat too obscure (https://collider.com/best-picture-winners-that-no-one-remembers/) to be regarded as infamous (https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/todcha/aside_from_crash_which_best_picture_winners_have/). Braveheart, The English Patient (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/YMMV/TheEnglishPatient), Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind, Chicago (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/YMMV/Chicago), The Hurt Locker (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/YMMV/TheHurtLocker), and Argo are still renowned despite typical post (https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/movies/2022/03/24/every-oscar-best-picture-winner-ranked/7083229001/)-Oscars (https://www.readersdigest.ca/culture/best-picture-winners-ranked/) blowback (https://screencrush.com/worst-oscar-best-picture-winners/). (Braveheart has become a controversial case study for historical inaccuracies (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ArtisticLicenseHistory/Braveheart).) Other winners like The Artist have become more overlooked (https://www.highonfilms.com/10-criminally-underrated-best-picture-oscar-winners/) than hated (https://www.cbr.com/movies-oscar-academy-award-winners-disliked-hated-worst/), if not forgotten (https://screenrant.com/oscars-best-picture-forgotten-winners-relevant-losers/).
