Jason and Laura rate and review all the Academy Award Best Picture nominees and winners from 1927/28 onwards.

The ratings are based on four major categories, Acting, Writing, Cinematography, and Overall, and 5 bonus rounds, Costumes and Sets, Boldness, Longevity, Legacy, and Technical. After the ratings the hosts decide whether or not the movies are worthy of nomination for the podcast's own award, the Notscar Movie Award Podcast Movie Award for Movies.
