12 Biggest Box Office Flops That Still Won Best Picture

The Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences has proven again and again that box office success doesn't necessarily translate to quality filmmaking. Many of the biggest blockbusters have never won Best Picture at the annual Academy Awards. Though they might take home awards for things like costumes, special effects, make-up, or music, the illustrious Best Picture award is typically reserved for more thought-provoking, deeper movies. Often, this also means movies that not many people actually go to the theater to see end up chosen by the Academy as the year's best.
