Rotten Tomatoes Awards: Best Movies & TV Winners of 2024

And the Golden Tomato goes to…
It’s been our annual tradition to hand out trophies for the best-reviewed movies and TV series of the year, with winners of the past five years including Oppenheimer, The Last of Us, Top Gun: Maverick, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and House of the Dragon.
For our 26th edition of the Rotten Tomatoes Awards, let’s celebrate 2024’s best in film and TV, acclaimed works that have taken us to sand-swept planets, the dazzling land of Oz, feudal Japan, the Gotham City underworld, and inside and outside the vaults of post-apocalyptic America.
Rotten Tomatoes Awards winner are determined using an adjusted formula, a weighted ranking whose factors include a movie or show’s Tomatometer rating, and its number of critics reviews. Learn more in the How It Works section at the end.
In total this year, there are 30 categories, plus our all-new Fan Favorite Movies, created through our audience-driven Popcornmeter and Verified Hot ratings left all throughout 2024. And, finally, there’s Golden Year, a look back on stars who have made the most impact through their works.

How it works
- The movie and TV rankings represent the most up-to-date Tomatometer & Popcornmeter scores as of December 31, 2024.
- The winners and nominees are determined by an adjusted score formula, which is a weighted ranking that compensates for the variation in the number of reviews when comparing movies or TV shows within a specified time frame.
- Limited releases are defined as opening in fewer than 600 theaters at initial release, or as virtual cinema. Platform releases, or movies initially released in fewer than 600 theaters that later expand before December 31, are categorized as Wide Release.
- International releases are defined as non-English language films.
- To qualify, a movie must be released in the United States between January 1 and December 31, 2024, and be Certified Fresh on the Tomatometer, and for the Fan Favorite Movie category, Verified Hot on the Popcornmeter.
- All eligible seasons and TV movies must have premiered or ended in the 2024 calendar year, and have a minimum of 20 reviews from different critics for the season or its episodes. All contenders need to have at least 5 reviews by Top Critics.
