I watched both The Secret Agent and One Battle After Another (didn’t see any of the other nominees). For me, The Secret Agent was definitely better.

  I wonder how many in the Academy actually watched The Secret Agent. I've heard before that a lot don't watch all the movies before making their picks.

    Starting this year, an academy member was required to watch all films in a category in order to vote on that category. I’m sure compliance was not perfect, but it seems a much better process than the honor system. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/awards/story/2025-04-22/the-oscars-mandate-voters-watch-all-nominated-movies-set-new-rules-for-ai-and-refugee-filmmakers https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/awards/story/2025...
