What does this calculator do?

The Oscar Marathon Calculator helps you plan a movie marathon to watch all of a given year’s Best Picture (or any awards category) nominees before a ceremony or deadline, based on the number of films, their average runtime, and how much time you can watch each day.

How it works

It multiplies the number of nominated movies by their average runtime to get total viewing time, then divides that by your daily available watching minutes to find how many days you’ll need. It also compares that against the days you actually have left until the ceremony, so you can see whether your planned pace gets you there in time or whether you need to watch more each day.

This is a simple scheduling estimate for entertainment planning purposes; actual runtimes vary by movie, so swap in exact runtimes for more precision if you know your specific nominee list.
