Before I read it, the disgusting American Beauty (sp) better be number one on this list.
I agree. I don’t remember what other movies were up that year, but surely one of them was better than this movie.
You are right - “American Beauty” was absolutely disgusting. It was a seminar on homosexual anger, vindictiveness, and hate for commonly-accepted culture, combined with Hollywood’s destructive cultural Marxism.
Didn’t even make the cut.
Lousy movie but the other nominees weren't great either. Closest runner-up was The Cider House Rules which wasn't much less disgusting. The other nominees were The Insider, The Green Mile and The Sixth Sense. The last one would have made an interesting winner, but the Academy wasn't going to go that way. Not even nominated for Best Picture: Being John Malkovich, The Talented Mister Ripley, and Magnolia (which would have made a good winner).
American Beauty indeed. What a stinker. Honoring a pedophile and disgracing a military figure. A horrible movie.
