Poll: Favorite Oscar Best Picture Sequel Nominee?

A poll by urbanemovies
In January 2023, Top Gun: Maverick (2022) and Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) secured Oscar Best Picture nominations for the 95th Academy Awards. In doing so, they became the eighth and ninth films to secure a nomination as an "official" sequel to a prior franchise movie. While not "official" sequels, two other films, The Silence of the Lambs (1991) and Letters from Iwo Jima (2006) have strong ties to a preceding film and, if included in the group, would bring the total to eleven best picture nominees with sequel, prequel, or companion distinctions.

Which of these selected Best Picture Oscar-nominated sequel, prequel or companion movies, that are either directly or indirectly connected to the story line of a previous movie, is your favorite?

For the purpose of this poll, a sequel is a film that continues the story of, or expands upon, some earlier film. A sequel movie portrays events set in the same fictional universe as an earlier movie, usually chronologically, but not always, following the events of a previous film.

Discuss the topic.
