Quiz: Which 2025 Best Picture Nominee Are You?

We’re one week away from the 97th Academy Awards and it has been quite the awards season. From scandals to surprises, next Sunday will be the rare Oscars where several major categories feel up in the air. Personally, I’m rooting for Nickel Boys and The Brutalist and against Emilia Pérez. But while we wait for the ceremony, maybe you’re wondering which of the Best Picture nominees is most like you. Not which one is your favorite, but which one captures a core part of your personality.

  1. I got Wicked! Which is the only nominated movie I’ve seen this year.

    I’m not really a theater kid but I’ll take this description: “ You’re creative and big-hearted and believe that life is worth dancing through.”

  2. You’re Wicked!

    Your first response was probably, OF COURSE. And hey there’s nothing wrong with being a theatre kid through and through. You’re creative and big-hearted and believe that life is worth dancing through.

    I’m not a theatre kid and I’ve two left feet but I am rather creative.
