Every Best Picture Oscar Winner Ranked Worst To Best

It's hard to think of a recent Best Picture winner as divisive as Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu’s one-take drama Birdman, which follows an ageing actor intent on keeping his career alive with a Broadway play seemingly doomed from the start.

Utterly unique and bolstered by an impressive cast - including a flawless Michael Keaton in perhaps his most personal role - Birdman is pretentious, smug, silly, and almost too strange, but the truth is all of this works in its favour. Iñárritu crafts such a surreal journey it's impossible not to respect what it has to say.
