20 Worst Best Picture Film Nominees Since 2010

20. Lincoln

Kicking off the list is Steven Spielberg's Abraham Lincoln biopic, which was one of the front-runners in the 2013 ceremony. Now, this particular one is a very interesting case for Lincoln is, in many ways, a very well-executed film.

Daniel Day Lewis is transcendently brilliant as Lincoln and he's very well-supported by an absolutely fabulous cast; furthermore, although Spielberg's direction is less adventurous than normal, the film is still a well-mounted affair filled with outstanding production values. So, why is it on this list? What's the problem?

Well... it's so. Damn. Boring!

This movie, which is two and a half hours in length, positively creaks along at an insufferably slow pace and delivers a fascinating true story in a completely ponderous, emotionless manner. As a result, what could've been a really powerful movie is instead far too distant for its own good.

It's obviously an accurate and well-researched film so this is a great movie to show in schools for educational purposes, but if you actually want something you can truly get invested in, you'll probably be left disappointed.

Like many of the films you'll see on this list, Lincoln is a perfectly solid movie but Best Picture level? Like, come on.

The 2013 Best Picture line-up was one of the worst of the decade, so you'll see a few more from this year on this list.
