"Worth watching" is quite relative. I can't determine that for you.
Of the films in the 2010s, I really enjoyed The Kings Speech, 12 Years a Slave, Spotlight, and The Shape of Water. I thought Argo, Birdman, and Greenbook were okay. Didn't care for The Artist or Moonlight.
Time and time again, we've seen that just because a movie is popular, that doesn't mean it's a good movie. Typically it just means more marketing $$$ and hype.

There’s also plenty of money and hype in the horserace for Best Picture.
I think “Silence” should have won, but it wasn’t nominated.

And in the best case scenario, a Best Picture winner would be a great example of direction, acting, sound, script, cinematography, costumes, etc. Superhero movies have great special effects, but everything else is negotiable.
Agreed, "worth watching" is highly subjective. I can answer only for myself, and as I see it, the movies that are worth watching must be, first and foremost, ones that I actually watched. In other words, if I didn't watch a movie, I must have decided that it wasn't worth watching.
The last Best Picture movie that I watched was the 2004 winner Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Before that, it was the 1998 winner Titanic. And before that, it was the 1995 winner Forrest Gump. Put simply, there simply aren't all that many films that the Motion Picture Academy and I agree are the "best."
