I saw all 10 Best Picture nominees
My personal favorite was The Substance. Ranked in order:
- The Substance
- Conclave
- Anora
- Dune: Part 2
- Wicked
- I'm Still Here
- A Complete Unknown
- Emilia Perez
- The Brutalist
- Nickel Boys
#1-5 were good. #6-8 were ok. #9-10 were very frustrating and didn't get to what they were trying to be.
[edit] Thank you for all of the comments. This year's nominees are a definite Rorschach test for people's taste.
My favorite is not the one I expect to win. I know The Substance is not for everyone.
Anora seems to be the betting favorite to win after Emilia Perez and The Brutalist fell off for various reasons.
