The 10 movies nominated for Best Picture at the2025 Oscarsare now confirmed, and ScreenRant readers have helped assemble a unique ranking based on the ScreenRant Database. The ScreenRant Database (SRDB) is still a relatively new feature for readers of the site, but the ever-expanding list of titles provides one new tool: the ability for users to rate and review movies and TV shows. This includes reviews for the10 Best Picture nominees for the 2025 Oscars:Anora,The Brutalist,A Complete Unknown,Conclave,Dune: Part Two,Emilia Pérez,I’m Still Here,Nickel Boys,The Substance, andWicked.
The confirmation of the 10 nominated movies always brings about variousBest Picture rankings. Instead of going off one individual’s opinion or the film’s chance to win, the ScreenRant Database user scores give you, the reader, the opportunity to help shape how the Best Picture nominees stack up. Content Director Alex Leadbeater said,“We’ve been building SRDB for the past 6 months, and we now have over 128,000 pages of movies, shows, and episodes. With our user rating functions, it’s giving an incredible eye in what our readers think about the latest releases.“This includes the Best Picture nominees.

Sean Baker’sAnorais the lowest-rated 2025 Best Picture Oscar nominee on the SRDB. Starring Mikey Madison in the lead role,Anoraonly has a 7.4 out of 10 score. This comes from a small number of reviews, indicating that most Screen Rant readers have not seen the movie or at least taken the time to rate it. Furthermore, there are no written reviews for the film. Every reader who has rated the movie only elected to leave a score review instead of sharing their criticisms or praise for the Best Picture nominee.
4.0/5
Overall,Anora’s SRDB score is on the lower sidecompared to other online opportunities for audiences to rate movies. The 7.4 average is below the Letterboxd and IMDb scores for the film. As exposure forAnoragrows ahead of the Oscars, there’s an opportunity for its score to rise as more readers share their thoughts on the movie on the SRDB.
The Substanceperforms moderately well in this ranking thanks to its SRDB score. The movie, starring Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley, has earned a 7.7 out of 10 score. The movie has a few full written reviews and even more score-only ratings by readers. Some of the praise includes Shahqireen saying it is the"Best horror movie of 2024,“while user Rebs praised Demi Moore’s work as"her greatest and most memorable role.”
3.8/5
7.3/10
ScreenRant readers are generally in line with howThe Substancehas been received elsewhere. The SRDB and Letterboxd scores are only off by .1 when putting them on the same rating scale. Users have also helped it secure a higher score on the SRDB than on IMDb by a margin of .4.The Substance's score reflects the overall love for Moore’s performanceand the body horror story crafted by writer/director Coralie Fargeat.
Emilia Pérezis among the more divisive Best Picture nominees in the 2025 Oscars, or quite possibly ever. That division is not necessarily reflected in the movie’s SRDB scores.Emilia Pérezhas a 7.9 out of 10 from several reviews. There are a few written reviews that only sing the Netflix musical’s praises, with each having a 10/10 score. Maria Gabriela called it"very entertaining,“Frank said Zoe Saldaña"is awesome"in the movie, and Blue simply said,“Amazing film!”

AlthoughEmilia Pérez’s Best Picture nominationmay puzzle some, especially judging by its horrible audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, ScreenRant users are much more positive towards the film.The SRDB isEmilia Pérez’s highest score when looking at other online options. There is a wide gap between the SRDB score and the film’s next highest user-generate review score on IMDb. The division among audiences in general is not reflected by ScreenRant users.
Conclavescores high with ScreenRant readers and users who gave the film reviews on the SRDB. Directed by Edward Berger and starring Ralph Fiennes, the Best Picture nominee has an 8.5 out of 10 score right now. Readers who took the time to write out their thoughts are mostly very positive towards the film, although not everyone is a fan. Dania said it is"One of the best movies of the year,“while Sid was enthusiastic in his praise by saying,“the acting is off the charts in every scene"and calling the ending a"knockout.”
3.9/5
The SRDB score forConclaveis higher than the general public reception. It’s more than one full point higher here than on IMDb, andthere’s also a notable .6 gap between the SRDB and Letterboxd. The thrills provided by Berger’s pope election film and the performances from Fiennes and his co-stars helped readers really appreciate the film.
Wickedis a huge hit with ScreenRant readers, and that’s reflected with the movie’s SRDB score. Expectations were high as a live-action adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical, but users were not disappointed.Wicked’s 8.7 score on the SRDB reflects the incredibly positive response toward the film. Anastasi praised the film by saying,“A magical movie from beginning to end that is anchored by two pitch perfect leads.“That sentiment carries over with Oscar voters clearly, considering Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo earned Oscar nominations too.
The performance byWickedon the SRDB is impressive for several reasons. The 8.7 score is higher than what the film has on Letterboxd and IMDb by notable margins. Furthermore,Wickedhas the most SRDB reviews among the 2025 Oscars Best Picture nomineeswith more than triple the ratings of the next biggest release. There’s a passionate appreciation for all aspects of the movie that makes it arguably the most popular of the Best Picture nominees among ScreenRant readers.
Dune: Part Twoscores very well with ScreenRant readers, and even several writers. Everyone was eager to return to Arrakis under Denis Villeneuve’s direction and see the evolution of Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides.Dune 2more than lived up to expectations, as reflected in its 8.9 SRDB score. Ryan said,“Dune Part 2 is an entertaining sci-fi film thanks to Chalamet’s compelling performance and Villeneuve’s direction.“Senior Staff Writer Greg MacArthur even wrote that it is"A true modern epic"and"arguably the greatest cinematic feat of 2024.”
4.4/5
The high praise forDune 2is unsurprising, considering it was one of the biggest movies of 2024 and among the most well-received. The SRDB score is nearly similar to how users on Letterboxd feel about Villeneuve’s sci-fi sequel, and its a bit higher than the IMDb score.Many may be hoping that this meansDune 2can win Best Picture, but those wishes are unlikely to be granted by Academy voters based on our2025 Oscars Best Picture tier rankings.
Nickel Boysis a highly respected drama based on a gripping and emotional true story that ScreenRant users have responded well to. The movie has a 9 out of 10 score on the SRDB, tying it for the third-highest score among the 2025 Best Picture Oscar nominees. That’s an incredible mark forNickel Boysto hit since the rollout has not always made it easy to see the movie. Now that it has a Best Picture nomination, more people should see it, which could alter its ranking in the long term.
4.1/5
7.6/10
It is worth noting thatNickel Boyshas the lowest amount of reviews on the SRDB for any of the Best Picture nomineesthis year. That could help explain why it’s score is noticeably higher than it is elsewhere. The general reception of the film is still very positive, soNickel Boys' SRDB score may not change that much as more readers are able to see it.
The Brutalistis widely considered to be a major contender to win Best Picture, and ScreenRant readers are also very fond of the film. Directed by Brady Corbet and starring Adrien Brody, Felicity Jones, and Guy Pearce, the architectural epic has captivated users.The Brutalisthas a 9 out of 10 score on the SRDB. Ryan said,“The Brutalist gives the audience powerful performances from the cast especially by Adrien Brody and an amazing score all thanks to Brady Corbet’s creative direction.”
8.0/10
Thereception toThe Brutalisthere is a bit on the higher sidecompared to elsewhere. That may be partially due to it having the third-lowest number of reviews among the 2025 Best Picture Oscar nominees. Then again, ScreenRant readers may also just be more positive and receptive to Corbet’s three-plus hour drama. If Academy voters tend to agree with you, thenThe Brutalistcould win Best Pictureafter all.
Brazil’sI’m Still Hereturned in a surprising performance during the 2025 Oscar nominations, as it landed recognition in three different categories. That includes a Best Picture nomination, which came as a pleasant surprise based on awards season. However,I’m Still Here’s 9.5 SRDB score proves that it belongs. It is tied for the highest score of any of this year’s Best Picture nominees. Unfortunately, no users gave written reviews sharing their praise for the film, whileScreenRant’sI’m Still Herereviewpraised Fernanda Torres' performance in particular.
The score forI’m Still Hereis certainly earned, although there is a caveat to consider. It has thesecond-fewest amount of reviews on the SRDB among the Best Picture nominees. That leaves a lot of room for the score to shift as more people see it and other users share their scores and reviews.
A Complete Unknowncomes out on top of the SRDB ranking of 2025’s Best Picture Oscar nominees. The movie has a 9.5 out of 10 score on the database. That score comes after the Bob Dylan biopic, directed by James Mangold and starring Timothée Chalamet,has the second-most reviews among the nominated films. There is an undeniable interest and fondness ofA Complete Unknownwithin this community.
3.6/5
The top spot going toA Complete Unknownis not directly reflective of its standing in the Best Picture race. However, there is a possibility that Academy voters will ultimately align with our readers and giveA Complete Unknownthe Best Picture Oscar this year. It’s a crowd-pleasing movie involving a music icon that includes several well-respected Hollywood veterans and rising stars. Even if it doesn’t win the top prize at the2025 Oscars, it certainly has its fans.
