After a month of voting, the Rotten Tomatoes community has chosen its winners for each category at the upcoming 93rd Academy Awards, which will take place this Sunday and celebrate the cinematic achievements of a very unusual year. According to RT fans, Chloé Zhao and Oscar frontrunner Nomadland should come away from this Sunday with four awards, including Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and the big one, Best Picture. Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom came next with three awards, including a posthumous win for the late Chadwick Boseman, and Emerald Fennell’s Promising Young Woman also claimed a couple of the top honors, namely Best Actress for Carey Mulligan’s performance and Best Original Screenplay for Fennell’s script.
Only a couple of the awards were closely contested — Best Supporting Actress and Best Editing among them — and the results essentially mirror the odds-on favorites for each category. Will the actual Academy Awards turn out the way our community believes they should? Tune in on Sunday, April 25 to find out, and in the meantime, see below for the full list of winners and the final results of the poll.
