Diana, with a budget of $30 million, aimed to capture the royal drama of Princess Diana’s life, hoping the idea would fetch Oscar glory. Starring Naomi Watts as Diana, the film promised a deeply emotional portrayal, but critics panned it for its uninspiring script and poor execution. Despite being nominated for a Golden Globe, the film didn’t win any major award. Directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel in 2013, Diana failed to live up to its royal potential, leaving audiences cold.
