LIVE POLL: Favorite Oscar-Nominated LGBTQIA+ Best Picture?

Not necessarily my favorite, but when someone talks of homosexuality, I will always think of Birdman. I saw this film in 2016 on recommendation from my grandmother. Judge me (or my parents), but I had never seen a same-sex kiss onscreen before the one featuring Naomi Watts and Andrea Riseborough. Anyway, lesbianism probably isn't a major theme in Birdman, but it was the first time I was exposed frontally to homosexuality (not only in films, but in life in general). At the time, I practically turned off the film. I had a similar experience when I watched Moonlight and Midnight Cowboy, both with my grandmother. Sometimes I think that my parents relegated the responsibility of doing this teaching to her because they were a bit uncomfortable themselves with the subject. With my parents, at that age, I mainly watched less serious films such as Superman (1978), Batman (1989) and Indiana Jones (1981).

2023 LGBTQIA+ Oscar  Best Picture Nominee Tár (2022)

Oscars (2024) LGBTQIA+ Oscar B.P. Nominees I think American Fiction, Maestro, Anatomy of a Fall, and Poor Things could concievably qualify with a minor or major LGBTQIA+ character and a LGBTQIA+ plot point woven into the story. But, I think there are going to be future movies where it is more central to the storyline. I think the bar going forward can be set be set higher for this poll. The best examples from this year's class did not garner a B.P. nomination among their other Oscar nominations. LIVE POLL: Favorite Oscar-Nominated LGBTQIA+ Best Picture?
