The Barbie movie is my personal favorite on this list, and it's been disappointing to see the film get snubbed in so many categories this awards season. Of course director Greta Gerwig and actress Margot Robbie got the biggest snub of all for not even being nominated at Oscars 2024. It's truly disappointing.
Robbie takes on the titular role, with Ryan Gosling as Ken and American Ferrera as Gloria. The Barbies and Kens are living in the seemingly perfect world of Barbie Land, but things change when Traditional Barbie starts to get. thoughts of death. Traveling to the real world, she'll learn what it's like to be human.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and Lily Gladstone star in Killers of the Flower Moon, which is one of the strongest movies on this list. "At the turn of the 20th century," the Osage Nation found fortune in oil and became some of the richest people, per the synopsis.
