Movie Fantasy League 2024 - Oscars Update
Oscar Nominations are out and that has shaken up the leaderboard for the ZEJ Reviews Movie Fantasy League!
Here’s where we’re at:
The rank on the left is globally and score on the right is current points.
Jord takes a command lead atop the rankings, as he picked 4 film with Oscar nominations, including two of the most nominated films, Emilia Perez and Wicked, as well as Best Picture nominee Anora, and animated nominee Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. All told, Jord racked up 30 Oscar nominations, most in the league.
Trailing him in total nominations with 22, Ellen pulls into second place, as she also had Wicked, had success with A Complete Unknown’s 8 nominations, the Wild Robot and September 5. We just did our reviews for A Complete Unknown, and it’s frustrating how it racked up any more nominations than Best Actor, as it’s such a bland movie, but of all our picks, it’s certainly the best value at a cost of just $1.88 per nomination.
You’ll also notice that Z is no longer in last place, though with Sing Sing being snubbed for Best Picture, I only amassed 9 total nominations, and didn’t soar to the heights I would have liked.
In fact, our previous leader Austin R, fended me off with his movies racking up 15 nominees - Wicked, Sing Sing and a surprising two nominations for the Apprentice.
Rounding out the bottom, Max picked up 8 nominees, and Austin T and Tony 5 a piece. The bottom trio all shared the joy of selecting the worst value movie $40 per nomination with Gladiator II; or even worse for Tony and Austin T, $30 for 0 nominations with Moana 2.
Of course, we still have the Guild Awards, the Bafta Awards, and then the Oscar winners themselves on March 2nd, so many points up for grabs, but you have to like your odds if you’re Jord right now.
