Cimarron is probably the worst best picture winner I've seen. Kind of tempted to see Cavalcade because I heard that one is even worse.

Also, did you guys not enjoy The Best Years of Our Lives?

Most US awards, including the Oscars, do have a best Foreign Language Film award as well (it'll be best International Feature Film starting this year), and Parasite also won that. It's a little different in who it credits for the movie (country vs production company) but they do have it - probably in good part due to just how unlikely it is for recognition in other categories. Kinda like they eventually made a Best Animated Film award - there have only been three nominated for Best Picture, and none have ever won it.
