City Lights (1931) is the highest rated comedy on IMDb (#46 on the top 250) , but wasn't even nominated for best picture. Meanwhile Cimarron (1931) has the lowest rating of any Best Picture winner by an embarrassingly comfortable margin:

1. Cimarron (1931) 6.1
2. Cavalcade (1933) 6.4
3. The Broadway Melody (1929) 6.5
4. Around the World In 80 Days (1956) 6.8
5. The Greatest Show On Earth (1952) 6.7
6. Gigi (1958) 6.9
7. The Great Ziegfeld (1936) 6.9
8. Tom Jones (1963) 7.0
9. Out of Africa (1985) 7.0
10.
-- An American In Paris (1951) 7.2
-- Chicago (2002) 7.2
-- Chariots of Fire (1981) 7.2

Neither adaptation of Ferber's novel by the same name have been any good. Unfortunately this film has not aged well and a lot of the acting is painful to watch...

I don't think it's the worst, but it is close enough.

While I don't think this is the worst Best Picture Winner, it certainly is down towards the bottom. Especially if you compare it to it's predecessor, All Quiet On The Western Front. Definitely a big step down.

The only saving grace for me was the character of his wife. It was nice to see her succeed and even become a Congresswoman, despite having a dead-beat husband. I only wish they had focused a little more on that, and less on romanticizing Yancy's wanderlust and few moments of glory.

Cavalcade is definitely worse.

RDix couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag.
