5 "Oscar Bait" Films That Totally Sucked

1. Diana (2013)

Naomi Watts Diana For a woman who led such an extraordinary life, you'd think it somewhat impossible to make a bottom of the barrel, bargain basement film about her. Yet here that film is, even though it managed to get one of the finest character actresses around in Naomi Watts. Depressing is a word we should have been using for entirely different reasons walking out of cinema screens having seen this biopic, but unfortunately it ended up relating to the film's dismal quality. The Royal Family have always been something of a draw for movie-goers, with films like The King's Speech and The Queen receiving critical acclaim and awards a plenty. Both movies were treated with reverence by the filmmakers, though, with an injection of characters flaws making the enigmatic family human, giving us something the audience could relate to. Diana is a cold and heartless film, forgetting all the love shown by such a wonderful person. Like this article? Let us know in the comments section below.

As a pretty nerdy guy, I've loved film and television since I was a wee lad. Growing up in Ireland, The Den was the show to watch with it playing Batman The Animated Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation and everything in between. I have an MA in Radio and Television Production and have written for various sites, hope you enjoy my articles/lists for What Culture!
