It's that time of year again – time for AMC's Annual Best Picture Showcase movie marathon. The special event gives fans the chance to watch the movies nominated for Best Picture at the 2025 Academy Awards ceremony. The two-day event is screening nine Best Picture nominees in select theaters across the U.S.

The only issue is – there are 10 nominees for Best Picture and AMC left Netflix's Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldana movie Emilia Perez not off of the screening list. The exclusion has caused fans to react in various degrees of hilarity. AMC Theaters shared the lineup on its official X (formerly Twitter) account and fans immediately noticed that the international movie I'm Still Here was included but Emilia Perez, which garnered 13 nominations including Best Actress for Karla Sofía Gascón, was not.

Someone else wrote: 'The best part? You don’t have to sit through Emilia Pérez.'. 'So AMC Theaters is doing a best picture nomination 2-day marathon but Emilia Perez isn’t included. Even AMC doesn’t wanna play that s**t lmao,' someone else joked.

Another broke out the sarcasm to write, 'It’s awesome that Emilia Perez isn’t in those AMC marathons.'. Many other comments pointed out that Emilia Perez is a Netflix film and was only released in theaters for a limited time to make it eligible for Oscar contention.
