Lowest Grossing Oscar Winners in Best Picture History

8. The Artist

2011’s The Artist was a modern day black and white silent film in the romantic comedy genre, which doesn’t really appeal to a wide audience these days. It certainly was critically acclaimed nonetheless. The film only made $44,671,682 at the box office, but was nominated for ten Academy Awards. It won five of those, including the coveted Best Picture statue. The art house film was also nominated for six Golden Globes and won three, was nominated for twelve BAFTA’s and won seven, and also took home a Best Actor award at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. Critics loved it. The mass audience, not so much.
