All 11 Action Movies Nominated For Best Picture, Ranked

Action movies aren’t often major awards contenders, but there are some that have been nominated for Best Picture. Between thrilling chase sequences, explosive set-pieces, and incredible fight choreography, action movies have been a cornerstone of Hollywood cinema and perfect escapism for decades. However, when it comes to the Academy Awards, these releases go unfairly overlooked and find themselves on the outside looking in. As difficult as many action movie scenes are to pull off, the Academy gives preferential treatment to dramas and character-driven narratives, whether it’s fair or not.
