Re: Awards Season 2021

I'll post my predictions too; I've been following this year's race more than I had been since 2015. Best Picture: Drive My Car I'm not entirely confident that the Academy will give the Best Picture award to a film that's exclusively on a streaming service like CODA and TPOTD are. But I don't see the...

Re: They Shoot Pictures, Don't They?: New list for 2022 available!

Did Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close frequently appear in EOY lists? I don't remember seeing it anywhere but at the Oscars, so I'd like to know which other sources also listed it. Extremely Loud and Credibly Close made onto Pete Hammond's and James Berardinelli's year end lists, it's hard to f...
