9 Films You Didn't Know Were Nominated As Worst Picture

Last Action Hero serves as a great satire of 90s action movies and many people rightly disagreed which landed the film a nomination for Worst Picture in 1993.

Nostalgia allows fans to remember this film kindly, especially with the self-consciously cheesy one-liners that are littered throughout the film. “You want to be farmer? Here’s a couple of acres.”

And while it's silly, it's also highly entertaining: it’s got laughs, imagination and tons of action-packed sequences. It also pays homage to the best action films of the 90s, including Die Hard, Basic Instinct and Schwarzenegger’s own Terminator 2: Judgement Day.

The film even explores Hamlet and ends with an appearance from death from Ingmar Bergman’s The Seventh Seal, which seem out of place in this satirical action movie, but just make it even more fun.

And most of all, the film knows that it is and doesn’t make any excuses.

The film, which had a solid marketing campaign, might’ve done better, but there was no competition when Jurassic Park was released around the same time.
