What Oscar-Winning Film You Should Watch This Summer, Based on Your Zodiac Sign
Oscar season may be over, but it’s never too late to stream an award-winning film. If you’re suffering from scroll fatigue, we get it — browsing through Netflix, Amazon, or even Disney+ can feel like a chore. With so many streaming services to choose from, it’s hard to decide what films are actually worth watching. Thankfully, we’ve made your job a little easier by selecting your next binge-watch. From Avatar to The Whale, here’s what Oscar-winning film to watch this weekend, based on your zodiac sign:
Capricorn
Practical, detail-oriented, and disciplined, Capricorns gravitate towards documentaries and historical films. This weekend, Capricorns should unwind with the remake of All Quiet on the Western Front. Originally a WWI novel that described the mental and physical toll of war, All Quiet on the Western Front became an Oscar-winning film in 1930. The 2023 remake of All Quiet on the Western Front received multiple Oscars for best international feature film, best production design, best cinematography, and best original score.
Aquarius
Everything Everywhere All At Once captured the hearts of movie-goers and critics alike this awards season. Based on the New York Times best-selling book, Everything Everywhere All At Once tells the story of a Chinese-American laundry mat owner who is pulled into her own multiverse conflict. This charming sci-fi flick won seven Oscars and is the perfect movie for the eccentric Aquarius.
Pisces
Pisces are dreamers: they’re drawn to fantasy and the abstract. Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio is the perfect combination of darker themes and fantastical adventures. A story of childhood innocence, reckless disobedience, and parental expectations, Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio is a touching remake of the fairytale we all know and love – just remember to bring tissues!
Aries
It’s no surprise that Aries love action films. These signs crave excitement — they gravitate towards exciting films that keep them on the edge of their seats. This weekend, celebrate the need for speed with the Oscar-winning film Top Gun: Maverick. A sequel to the 1986 film, Top Gun: Maverick is loved by critics and won an Oscar for best sound. Tom Cruise’s performance is also exceptional.
Taurus
Full of pain and despair, The Whale is a stunning chamber drama that focuses on the broken heart of a dying man. While the film has received a fair amount of criticism for its subject matter and the way it portrays the main character, it’s nevertheless a touching film that focuses on hope and redemption – which is perfect for Taurses, who love dramatic flicks. The Whale was Brendan Fraiser’s long-awaited return to the silver screen, and his outstanding performance solidified his nomination for best actor.
Gemini
Witty and intelligent, Geminis love the dark world of psychological horror. Experts at reading people, these signs will analyze the characters’ motivations and predict every twist. This weekend, we recommend the 2010 film Black Swan. This movie tells the story of a young ballet dancer who strives for perfection and, in the process, loses her grip on reality.
Cancer
Everyone knows that Cancers love drama. Highly sensitive and compassionate, these signs are drawn to well-written characters thrust into high-stakes situations. A thoughtful script that evokes laughter or tears will stay with Cancers long after the credits roll. This weekend, curl up with the 2019 remake of A Star is Born. In this Oscar-winning film, Lady Gaga plays Ally, a singer-songwriter who impresses famous musician Jack (played by Bradley Cooper). As Ally and Jack fall in love, their relationship is tested as Jack struggles with a drug and alcohol addiction.
Leo
Slumdog Millionaire was one of the best films made in the 2000s. Part love story, part commentary on India’s social classes, this move follows Jamel (Dev Patel) as he uses past memories to win it all on the Indian-Hindi version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? Leos, who love a good romance, will be drawn to the dazzling cinematography and the blossoming relationship between the film’s leads.
Virgo
Virgos are analytical by nature: they think deeply about any given topic and find core, foundational messages in every book, play, or movie. For this reason, we recommend Women Talking, a shorter film that centers on how religion both shapes and constricts the female members of a remote Mennonite colony.
Libra
Libras are all about balance, and there’s no better genre for them than an action-packed epic. This year RRR (which stands for Rise, Roar, Revolt) captured the hearts of millions when it was released. This explosive film follows Tollywood superstars N.T. Rama Rao Jr. and Ram Charan as they fight against the British Raj in the 1920s. Wildly colorful and gut-wrenchingly hilarious, RRR is the perfect movie to unwind with this weekend.
Sagittarius
Natural explorers, Sagittariuses love a good adventure movie. This weekend, these signs should sit down with the 2023 Oscar-winning Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. A sequel to the 2018 hit film Black Panther, Wakanda Forever follows Shuri and Queen Ramonda as they grapple with a new threat to Wakanda.
Scorpio
Want to capture a Scorpio’s attention? Show them an Oscar-winning thriller on your next movie night. Full of mysteries and surprises, Scorpios will enjoy trying to predict each plot twist and discovering each character’s motivations. This weekend, we recommend the 2011 film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, where journalist Mikael Blomkvist searches for a missing woman. Aided by computer hacker Lisbeth Salander, the pair make a series gruesome discoveries.
