With the Academy - Directors choose Director, actors choose actors - but everyone votes for picture.

For best picture, all the members in all branches list up to five films in preferential order.

So it is theoretically possible that no one chose EEAAO but it got enough "points" for second and third place to be the winner.

It was somewhat of a tossup for me with All Quiet... but I knocked it down for editing and lack of scope/originality. War is hell. Got it. It's well done. EEAAO was and is probably the only film on this list tha I would ever want to watch again (and that's iffy).

It just wasn't a strong year.

Personally, I would have chosen "The Batman" over any of these. Indeed, "The Menu" and even the silly comedy/horror M3GAN (released in 2023 though) over this lot. M3GAN was a hoot. The Terminator meets Chucky
