 The 2024 Best Picture Draft Simple rules, we draft our prediction for Best Picture winner in snake format, number of picks depends on how many people play. I'll provide a list of plot summaries and director/cast info. If nobody takes the winner, most nominees wins.

Re: The 2024 Best Picture Draft It's pretty straight forward, whoever drafts the eventual Best Picture winner wins (and then there'll be some tiebreaker system if nobody gets it, either most nominees or Best Director/guilds winner or something). Maybe 3 picks each or something. The draft would happen relatively soon, but I'll make a list of movies and their descriptions big enough that people can just pick from it if they want, or they can go off the board if they choose.
