The worst Oscar Best Picture nominees and winners since WW2 (based on IMDb ratings)

Scoop, ... 6 comments.

Just for fun, an update on a topic I often raised in the 1990s

Worst five nominees:

Rank Film Year IMDb

1 Emilia Pérez 2024 5.3
2 Doctor Dolittle 1967 6.2
T-3 Three Coins in the Fountain 1954 6.3
T-3 Tom Jones 1963 6.3
T-5 The Greatest Show on Earth 1952 6.5
T-5 Maestro 2023 6.5

Worst five winners:

Rank Film Year IMDb

1 Tom Jones 1963 6.3
2 The Greatest Show on Earth 1952 6.5
3 Gigi 1958 6.6
4 Around the World in 80 Days 1956 6.7
T-5 Chariots of Fire 1981 7.1
T-5 Shakespeare in Love 1998 7.1

The one most salient item on those lists: Emilia Perez is not only the worst nominee, but is the worst by a mile. It wins the 100-yard dash by about 50 yards. If low scores were an event in the Aztec games, the high priest would now be cutting its heart out.

And that sumbitch had 13 nominations!

(For reference, the reviews were mediocre. It is scored 70 at Metacritic. That’s OK for a summer comedy or a thriller, but mighty weak for a Best Picture nominee. Maestro, the other recent addition to the lists, is scored 77.)

Update:

The shameless begging continues:

Uncle Scoopy’s Fun House is still active and updated daily. It includes more than a million images and tens of thousands of videos, dating back about 30 years. It even has every days’s Fun House archived as they originally appeared, day by day for 28 years. (The Fun House has been around for 31 years, but the first three years are lost.) Those issues from the 90s have some interesting content, but the images were low res to conform to dial-up speeds, and the actual pages are hilariously ugly! The internet has come a log way.

I take a bath on hosting that server for the pay site. Of course it is my own fault. I went years without actively promoting the subscription area, and rarely even mentioned it, so I shouldn’t be surprised that the number of members slowly eroded. But many thanks to those of you that signed up or re-signed recently, even when you didn’t need the content! That was kind, and … well, just “thanks.” Between all of my costs for hosting all of my sites, I still lose money monthly, so subscriptions are still very welcome. And there’s a lot of material there!

If you aren’t interested in the Fun House, but enjoy reading Other Crap daily, and would like to help get me stay in a break-even position overall, please consider a donation. Anything helps.




As I mentioned earlier, I don’t expect to make a profit on the sites. I just don’t want the cost of my little hobby to get out of control, and I don’t want to weight Other Crap with ads and pop-ups. It is best when it is simple: just celebrity nudity, jokes, and sports. (And this annoying message once in a while.)

No donation is too small and, needless to say, no donation is too large.

Wait! Those last five words are wrong.

If you donate a billion dollars or more, that actually would be too large. That would be counter productive, because I’d probably buy my own island, build a private golf course, hire a staff, light my expensive Cuban cigars with twenty dollar bills, erect a giant golden statue of myself, and become so big for my britches that I would forget about the site and abandon you guys. So do NOT give me a billion dollars. Restricting your maximum donation to a few million would keep me grounded.

In the immortal words of a great man, “Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

“Joshua Báez becomes the FIRST PLAYER EVER to hit THREE HOME RUNS in his MLB debut!”

Scoop, ... 9 comments.

They’ve been playing major league baseball more than 150 years, and nobody has ever done this before.

The kid hit a 449-foot homer to center on his first MLB pitch – and he was just getting started. He didn’t merely hit three homers in the game; he did it in his first three plate appearances!



Two previous players had homered in their first two at-bats. One was a solid ballplayer, but the other was a career minor leaguer whose first two major league at-bats were little short of miraculous.

* Bob Nieman stayed in the majors 12 years after he accomplished the feat in 1951. He was a good hitter (.295 lifetime with an OPS+ of 132), but he never made the all-star team, and never reached as many as 75 RBI in a season.

* An obscure catcher, Keith McDonald, did it in 2000. His entire major league career consisted of only 9 at-bats, although he did add one more homer before he headed back down to Memphis. Three homers in nine at-bats gave him a lifetime slugging average well over 1.000! That performance was a total fluke. He kicked around the minor leagues for 13 years and averaged only six homers per year! In fact, he hit more homers in his 9 major league at-bats than he did in an entire season in the Florida State League in 1996, when he had 410 at-bats!

Alia Shawkat and Kristen Stewart in The Wrong Girls (2026)

Stoner comedy.

5.7 at IMDb.
56% on Rotten Tomatoes

The reviews were polarized. Some felt it was a pretty good, albeit very silly, stoner comedy that seems to have been fun to make. Others said the cast obviously enjoyed it more than the audience. I didn’t think it was awful, but lost interest and started fast-forwarding about twenty minutes in. That’s not a good sign because I generally enjoy the genre. On the other hand, I have to admit that Kristen Stewart is much better at comedy than I expected, perhaps better than she is at drama. Maybe she’ll be the new Leslie Nielsen.

Two aimless young women inadvertently gain telepathic abilities after ingesting an experimental drug, pitting them against dangerous rivals pursuing the same powerful substance.

The images and clips come from a CAM.

There’s no nudity, but Shawkat teased. (Printed T-shirt?)

Meeri Toivonen totally naked in Mis? (2025)

Surrealistic Finnish mystery.

3.1 at IMDb.

Five friends celebrate Lulu’s growing media presence on social media, mocking the ancient tools of communication, which leads to one of them disappearing. After experiencing unexplained events, the rest of the group of friends decide to find the missing person by following location information shared in a common discussion group.

The journey takes the friends to the borderlands of reality and fantasy, where the natural becomes disturbed and everyday existence is threatened. In order to find the missing person, they must dare to strip themselves of everything superficial and make the journey brutally imperfect. Will that be enough to survive?

Kaia Gerber see-thru to full nipple

Kaia Gerber is seen at ‘The Shards’ screening in London!

The nip-slip site has a gallery of these.

I watched the first four episodes of The Shards. There’s no real nudity, and the show is otherwise not worth your time.

On the positive side:

Although Kaia is not an iconic figure like her mother, she has become a much better actress than mom. I haven’t seen Kaia on stage, but she drew solid-to-excellent reviews last year for her performance in Evanston Salt Costs Climbing.
