Poll Position: Who won our Decade Movie Draft?

Welcome back to Poll Position. With the Oscar season only just beginning to shape up, the podcast returned with a special premise: a movie draft of the best films from the past decade.

I invited Tyler Harner, Raf Stitt and Val Morreale to compete against me in the draft, and we all put together some great lists.

The only rule of the draft was this: we were each limited to one film from each year. So all four competitors have a movie from each of the last 10 years (2016-2025).

In a wild turn of events, only 3/10 Best Picture winners were drafted. It’s not too surprising that Green Book, Nomadland, and CODA were left off the board, but One Battle After Another, Oppenheimer, and Anora also missed!

Now it’s up to YOU to determine who had the best draft team.
