Who’s Who: Written and directed by Adam McKay, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill, and featuring just about every other famous person on earth.

The Basics: DiCaprio and Lawrence play astronomers attempting to warn humanity about a comet strike that will destroy the earth in this subtle and not at all smug climate change parable.

Its Chances: This movie was so roundly criticized that Academy voters would have to be trolling to crown it best picture.

How pissed would people be? No outcome could start more drama than this very bad movie winning best picture. Am I awful for almost wanting to see it happen?
