The 2024 Academy Awards are today if you were slacking off watching any of the films nominated for the big prize: Letterboxd has you covered. The best way to understand the ten films nominated for Best Picture is not by watching them, but by reading funny and satirical reviews made by the film nerds who did. It’s like they are watching them for you! And you already know what the big memes coming out of every Oscar film this year.

Who needs to watch Poor Things for two hours when all you need to know is Emma Stone is a different kind of weird Barbie and the lens is so wide you can practically see Yorgos Lanthimos chomping on an apple while watching playback?

Paul Giamatti does his best at acting when he’s tasked with terrorizing school children in both Big Fat Liar and the nominated film, The Holdovers.
