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. Well, great news! I’ve created a quiz to answer that very question.

Noo, it’s not working! And for once I could answer most of the questions without guessing!
Oh no! It works when I test it. What happens when you hit submit?
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.”
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.
i got Anora and i DO find the laughter in all situations! also i enjoyed this quiz structure immensely
Nickel Boys – what a lovely description!
Shout out to the Barbican (my favourite brutalist building) which is featured three times in this quiz 😁
Genuinely, trickiest part of quiz was “which bit of the Barbican do I pick?”
I’m dead this is so funny. I guess the Canva results for “brutalist architecture” were limited !!
In your defence it is huge – I get lost every time I need to see a show there.
This quiz is a fun way to see which Best Picture nominee matches your personality.
Got the Substance, which I’m good with!
Mostly here to say I wish that there was an option for repressed/possessed sapphic nuns in the Conclave list. You know it’s what Benedetta would have wanted!!
You’re so right but TO BE FAIR everyone who takes this quiz would’ve chosen that one and the results would get skewed.
Conclave, and I’ve not even done the test
I’ve seen Bob Dylan and Joan Baez several times and have gone to the Newport Folk Festival for 15 years now. Happy to get A Complete Unknown.
