Just one Oscar, who gets it?
If this movie could win exactly one Academy Award, which category should it be and who should win it? The hosts debate the most Oscar-worthy element of the film – Best Actor? Best Director? Best Cinematography? Best Original Screenplay? The constraint of picking just one forces hard choices and reveals what the hosts truly value most about the movie.
This category is especially fun for movies that were famously snubbed at the Oscars, where the hosts can right historical wrongs, and for movies that actually won multiple Oscars, where they have to pick the most deserved one.
A relatively late addition to the category lineup, it came from the The New Categories Selection Show episode in 2022, and was first awarded in the 'Cop Land' episode.
