Poll: Oscars Face-Off: Producers - Spielberg vs. Rudin vs. Kennedy

In January 2023, Steven Spielberg bested himself in the Oscar Best Picture category by securing a record twelfth lifetime producing nomination for his latest film, The Fabelmans (2022). The Best Picture category is the de facto Oscar category for recognizing producers. Oscar-nominated producers, Scott Rudin and Kathleen Kennedy know how to marshal the right mix of talent and resources to make the Oscar-caliber movies too and are part of the same elite producing tier that Spielberg leads. But, the two trailing producers are younger and time might favor them in their quest to surpass him for the all-time record.

In your opinion, which of these individuals do you think will finish on top with the most Oscar Best Picture nominations by a producer: Steven Spielberg or Scott Rudin or Kathleen Kennedy?
