Guess the Movie Oscars answers

Guess the Movie shows a movie as a minimalist poster: a single object, a colour, a symbol or an emoji clue that sums up the whole film. Look for the one prop or moment everybody remembers, then think of the title. Spelling slips are fine in the game, and you can use hints to reveal letters or remove wrong options. Try each poster yourself before you tap Show answer, because the fun is in the moment it clicks. Finished a level? The next one is linked at the bottom of the page.
