We’re not saying that this will guarantee you success at the 2025 Oscar ceremony, but for anyone looking at trends here’s everything from cameras to costs to crew sizes for this year’s Best Picture nominees.
Want to win an Oscar? Well, according to the data below you’re going to have to raise $63.9 million, which really is a $64 million question. But once you’ve done that, here’s what you should do with the money based on what the nominees used this year.
First off, cameras. At the 2024 Oscars, while Best Picture winner Oppenheimer was shot on a mix of 65mm units from IMAX and Panavision, there was a clear winner in terms of the sheer amount of nominations. ARRI was involved in six out of ten Best Picture nominees, while in terms of the Best Cinematography nominated films the company also shot an impressive three from five.
