From the team...
Poor Things earned 12 nominations from the team, including Picture, Director, Actress and two Supporting Actor citations.
Poor Things led the nominations for the Team Experience Awards for the 2023 awards season. Yorgos Lanthimos' film earned 12 nominations, the most of any film this year. Despite the team falling for a movie loved by the Oscars, they were not afraid to deviate from the expected nominees. Only six out of ten Best Picture nominees overlapped with Oscars, while Lanthimos is the only director honored by the Film Experience team and the Oscars with a nomination. The selections for these nominees were determined through a collective voting process involving all the writers at The Film Experience, with the exception of Nathaniel, who will announce his personal Film Bitch Awards separately. Be sure to visit The Film Experience on Sunday, March 2nd when the winners will be announced.

FUN FACTS & FIGURES
- The Best Picture category featured 41 movies mentioned on at least one writer’s top 10 list.
- Barbie earned the second highest number of nominations (9), but coincidentally did not make it into Best Picture. Still, Greta Gerwig made it into Best Director and Margot Robbie earned a Best Actress nomination, unlike at the Oscars.
- On the other hand, Alcarrás made it into Best Picture with no other nominations in any other categories.
- The team cited 39 films across 20 categories, which is just one more than the Oscars did this year (38).
- The biggest disagreement between the Oscars and the Film Experience Team was in regards to Oppenheimer. Christopher Nolan’s film led the Oscars with 13 nominations, while it only received 4 nominations from Team Experience.
- Between Best Animated Feature and Best Documentary Feature, only one film earned additional nominations outside of that category. That film was Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, which was also nominated for Best Visual Effects.
