Which movie will win Best Picture at 2024 Oscars? Nominees’ Filmaffinity ratings
Ahead of the 96th Academy Awards, we take a look at which movie would win Best Picture based on the nominees’ scores on Filmaffinity.
Oppenheimer is the bookmakers’ runaway favourite to win Best Picture at this weekend’s Oscars - but if users of the internet movie database Filmaffinity had their way, the golden statuette would go elsewhere.
What are the Best Picture betting odds?
Per the odds comparison site Oddschecker, Oppenheimer is the 1/20 frontrunner for Best Picture, well ahead of the award’s nine other nominees.
Two of 2023′s other major blockbusters, Barbie and Killers of the Flower Moon, are priced at 66/1 and 100/1, respectively, while Maestro is all the way back at 150/1. Oppenheimer’s nearest challengers in the betting - The Zone of Interest and Poor Things - are both rated at 33/1.
Filmaffinity fans vote Oppenheimer into second
However, while bettors expect Academy members to hand top honours to Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan’s $100m biopic about the man credited as the ‘father of the atomic bomb’, Filmaffinity’s ranking of the nominees suggests that public opinion favours Poor Things.
Of the candidates for Best Picture, it is Yorgos Lanthimos’ surreal comedy that has the highest rating on the website, whose more than one million registered users are asked to give movies a score out of 10. Poor Things is rated at 7.6, knocking Oppenheimer into second by a margin of 0.1 points.
