Already saw the other 4 Best Picture nominees earlier, so seen them all with a couple of weeks to spare. First Choice One Battle After Another, second choice probably Sentimental Value. Not sure after that but last choice is F1, I just don't think racing is very interesting or entertaining, and Frankenstein I only really like the second part, so that's probably next to last.
