The September Team Film Experience Top 10 list is out, and with Oscar Season about to unfurl like a poshly-designed red carpet shot in warm golden light with a haunting string score accompanying it, it’s themed to awards season: our collective picks for the ten biggest bombs on Oscar morning: films that looked great on paper, but either exploded on the launchpad with critics, or just couldn’t push it over the hump on nomination morning.
