With today’s announcement of AFI’s Motion Pictures of the Year, a large question looms over this year’s race: Is Best Picture becoming clearer or cloudier?

After being blanked by the National Board of Review yesterday, Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist came back with today’s list, and Edward Berger’s Conclave ticks off another mention. Will both of these titles be included at the Golden Globe nominations on Monday morning?

AFI’s list never matches 1:1 with Best Picture, but could this finally be the year where they sync up? Before you check out this year’s list, look at who made AFI but missed at the Oscars.

2023 – May December, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
2022 – Nope, She Said, The Woman King
2021 – Tick…Tick…Boom!, The Tragedy of Macbeth
2020 (the messy pandemic year) – Da 5 Bloods, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, One Night in Miami…, Soul
2019 – The Farewell, Knives Out, Richard Jewell
