ZEJ Oscars Votes

Written By Zach Rhodes

It’s Oscars weekend, and it’s time to unveil the ZEJ team’s Oscars vote results! Check out each category below, ordered by ranked choice voting. First place votes are in parenthesis with the initial of that voter for each category.

Whereas last year we had just a single unanimous vote, this year, the ZEJ team is more in sync, with 10 of the 22 categories being unanimous, and there may have been a couple more, but with Jord’s girl’s high school basketball team winning the state tournament this year, he did miss a few movies as a result, so wasn’t able to vote on those movies. Price of being a champion, I suppose!

The ZEJ team had the most love for Hamnet with 4 wins (Best Picture, Best Actress, Directing, and Adapted Screenplay), and Sinners with 4 wins (Best Cinematography, Original Score, Original Screenplay, and Casting), followed by Frankenstein with 3 wins (Production Design, Makeup and Hairstyle, and Costume Design) and One Battle After Another with 2 wins (Supporting Actor and Film Editing).
