Golden Tomatoes 2023

Golden Tomatoes is the annual award ceremony that Rotten Tomatoes, the review aggregation website holds since 1999. The awards honor the best in TV and Movies that has come out of the previous year. This year the awards have recognized some of the biggest names in Hollywood along with some unrecognizable indies. 2022 was certainly a great year for films as theatres opened and we didn’t get mediocre content but rather so many good movies and TV shows. However, let me point out that this list is not like award ceremony where a jury has analyzed the nominated movies and and then presented a winner. To understand how it works let’s look at Rotten Tomatoes guidelines:

  • The movie and TV rankings represent the most up-to-date Tomatometer scores as of December 31, 2022.
  • All the lists on the Golden Tomato Awards are ordered by Adjusted Score, which is a weighted formula that compensates for the variation in the number of reviews when comparing movies or TV shows.
  • Limited releases are defined as opening in fewer than 600 theaters at initial release, or as virtual cinema. Platform releases, or movies initially released in fewer than 600 theaters that later expand, are categorized as Wide Release.
  • Foreign releases are defined as non-English language films.
  • In order to qualify for a Golden Tomato Award, a movie must have been released in the United States between January 1 and December 31, 2022, and it must have at least 40 reviews. All eligible seasons and TV movies must have premiered or ended in the 2022 calendar year, and have a minimum of 20 reviews from different critics for the season or its episodes. All contenders need to have at least 5 reviews by Top Critics.

Basically, whichever Film or TV show tops its respective list will automatically be the winner. Now there are no nominees as it is basically everything. However, just for reference I’ve noted down 5 films from each category which ranked the highest, so it is easy for the reader to understand. Without any further ado, let’s dive in.
