0:00Reporting from The Daily News Now, I'm Corey with the latest entertainment headlines. With the 98th Academy Awards set for March 15th, excitement is building for a solid best-picture lineup.

A fresh-ranking spotlight's the 10 worst best-picture winners ever, kicking off as number 1 is the Broadway melody from 1929. It was the first sound film to take the prize, but comes off as thin and overly sappy. Number 2 goes to Crash from 2005.

Other entries like Slumdog Millionaire, with its awkward Bollywood finale, Out of Africa,
