Which Oscar Movie Should You Watch This Weekend? Let's Narrow It Down By Zodiac Sign

07/02/2020 - 06:25 PM

With the 2020 Academy Awards coming up on Sunday [1], you might be overwhelmed by the sheer number of movies to catch up on. Is The Irishman [2] really worth the 210-minute commitment? Is Marriage Story too heartwrenching? [3] Rather than trying to cram it all in at the last second, let's narrow down your list of prospective watches. Perhaps you'll find your new Zodiac counterpart of cinema, or at least you'll know a little bit about the movies before the awards ceremony! Take a look ahead to see which film your sign is aligned with, and don't be concerned if you got Joker. (Seriously, you're fine.)

Taurus — The Irishman

You're methodical like Russell Bufalino (Joe Pesci) and stubborn like Jimmy Hoffa (Al Pacino [4]), which makes The Irishman the perfect Oscar movie for your Taurus traits. Sometimes you're so stubborn, you may even have your own rules about others' lateness — 15 minutes is saying something! Plus, with your commitment, The Irishman's three-and-a-half-hour running time is no problem for you.

Gemini — Joker

Look, you're not exactly like the Joker, but since Geminis are known for their double personalities, maybe you have a bit of an alter ego. One side of your personality isn't necessarily evil, but part of you might be quiet and thoughtful, while the other half likes to dance down public staircases. Just speculation!

Cancer — Little Women

Considering how in touch you are with your emotions, there's no way you walked out of Little Women with dry eyes. The film's themes of family and love are ones you think about often in your everyday life. Also, like Jo March, you can tend to put your loved ones before yourself, needing a reminder to check on your own needs every once in a while.

Leo — Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

The natural confidence you possess as a Leo probably leads you to some Quentin Tarantino-esque revenge fantasies. You may often think about the heroic ways you could go back in time and save people from harm. Or, maybe you just like to drive around your city and look cool.

Libra — Marriage Story

Watching Marriage Story may actually be torturous for your Libran indecisiveness — whose side are you supposed to take? But that's kind of the point of the movie — the divorce is so heartbreaking because both Charlie (Adam Driver) and Nicole (Scarlett Johansson [5]) raise good points, but their situation prevents them from coming to an amicable compromise. It reflects how it can be hard for you to make decisions, going back and forth on logical points.

Scorpio — Jojo Rabbit

As a Scorpio, you're passionate and you feel all the emotions [6]. Jojo Rabbit, being satirical, funny and sentimental, touches on all those feelings you probably have on a daily basis. You wear your heart on your sleeve, and any movie that appeals to that spectrum of emotions you possess is perfect for you.

Sagittarius — 1917

Your bravery and adventurousness make this World War I flick appeal to your Sag energy. In 1917, the main characters come face to face with various obstacles they must overcome in order to complete their mission. With your ability to adapt and plan in the moment, you can probably relate.

Capricorn — Bombshell

In Bombshell, Megyn Kelly tries to stick to her morals as she assesses the best way to address her precarious situation at Fox News. As a Capricorn, you persevere through anything, although you maintain a sense of realism along the way. You're great at deducing the best possible way to solve an issue.

Aquarius — Knives Out

Detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig [7]) just might be the new Aquarius icon of cinema. Like you, he sticks to his gut instincts and is assertive in solving his problem at hand. His mind was pretty much made up the moment he walked into the Thrombey's mansion, which is probably how you enter most situations as well.
