Most Americans haven't seen a single movie nominated for best picture, according to survey
Summit
But that's not so. According to a survey conducted by Morning Consult, 55% of Americans actually haven't seen a single movie nominated for best picture in 2017. Only 14% of the people surveyed take a nomination as a reason to see a movie. So while the Oscars do have some impact on a film's audience, there are other factors that play a more important role.
"When asked to choose what should win best picture, the top picks were 'La La Land' (13%) and then 'Hidden Figures' (11%). However 47% of Americans say they don't know or don't have an opinion on what should win."

Thirty-one percent said that the movie's trailer plays a major factor in their decision to see it. Young people tend to be in this category: 50% percent of adults under 30 say that the trailer is a big influence on their choice to see a movie or to skip it.
Like the Oscars, critics also don't have a huge influence: only 15% said that a critic's review determines whether they see a movie.
