The Next Best Picture team took an internal vote on this year’s Oscar nominees and we now have our results! We may not be actual voters, but we take the nominees seriously, as we make sure to see all of the nominees every year. Check out our previous choices for 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021. The votes were tabulated in the same manner as the actual Academy Awards – Best Picture was decided using a ranked preferential ballot, and all other categories went to the nominee with the most votes. We will reveal the NBP Film Community’s choices tomorrow!
And the (imaginary) Oscar goes to…
