Be a critic from your couch. Cast your vote for the 2025 Best Picture with Movie Meter
The Super Bowl of movies is almost here and we know that you're just as excited as we are.
To help you show your love and appreciation for motion pictures, The Arizona Republic is partnering with USA TODAY to launch the USA TODAY Movie Meter, a way to let you choose the nation's best film of the year.
Award shows are not just an event for those attending, but for the viewers at home as well. This year is stacked with some great nominees and you don't want to miss out on what all the hype is about, you can catch up from the comfort of your couch or at your favorite Arizona theater.
After you've checked out what's up for the 2025 Best Picture Oscar, you can join the fun and be a critic from your couch from now through March 2 at 11 p.m. MST.
Your vote will matter as USA TODAY Movie Meter harnesses the opinions of the public, not industry insiders, to rate the year's most beloved film based on the movies nominated by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the Academy Awards.
The USA TODAY Movie Meter winner will be announced live on the "TODAY Show" on March 3.

Movie Meter builds on the popularity of Ad Meter, which USA TODAY launched in 1989 and has become the leading tracker of public opinion on Super Bowl ads.
'Movie Meter expands panelist ratings into the world of cinema, creating a new standard for audience-driven awards,' said USA TODAY Senior Vice President Monica Richardson. 'USA TODAY is evolving our content to better serve our audiences, and Movie Meter is a testament to that commitment. USA TODAY Movie Meter seeks to be the industry's leading opinion tool to gauge true public sentiment regarding films and their impact on consumers. We are creating a platform that truly reflects the voices of everyday Americans.'
