Oscar season is a time to celebrate the masterful works of art from the previous year. Dramas usually get the spotlight at the awards ceremony, raking in over half of all best picture wins over time.
But we can't properly acknowledge the genius of the best dramas without recognizing how they have surpassed the rest. With this in mind, PrettyFamous, an entertainment site by Graphiq, ranked the worst dramas ever made.
The data experts at PrettyFamous only considered dramas (historical dramas, crime dramas and the like) with over 15,000 IMDb votes to ensure their relative notoriety. They then ordered the movies according to their Smart Rating. This is a score out of 100 that takes into account a movie's IMDb rating, Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer and Audience Score, Gracenote rating, Metacritic Metascore and the inflation-adjusted U.S. box office gross. The resulting group was ordered from bad to worse in descending order, ending with the movie with the lowest Smart Rating.
