The competition is particularly stiff this year for which film, out of the nine nominees, will take home the Oscar for Best Picture at the 2018 Academy Awards. But the internet has some #thoughts.

As mere viewers, we have little say over who the Academy body actually votes for. But on Twitter, everyone has a say (for better, or usually worse). And they cast their votes long ago, by way of so many "miscredited movie" memes.

So we humbly submit our nominees for the Best Best Picture Nominee Memes.

The Darkest Hour

Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing Missouri

Get Out

Lady Bird

The Shape of Water

The Phantom Thread

Call Me By Your Name

Dunkirk

The Post

You can watch to see who really takes the gold home tonight on the 90th annual Academy Awards at 8:00 p.m. ET.
