8. Welcome to Marwen

Welcome to Marwen had all the Oscar bait vibes. It was an emotional true story with Steve Carell in a transformative role, and groundbreaking visual effects. Directed by Robert Zemeckis in 2018, the movie aimed for big emotions but felt too scattered, leaving critics unimpressed. Despite Carell's heartfelt effort, the film didn’t secure any Oscar nods or major awards elsewhere. Also featuring Leslie Mann and Janelle Monáe, it missed the mark with audiences, too, proving that even a heartfelt story needs credible execution to shine.
