Oscar Nominations are on the horizon, so here are my non campaign influenced picks for the year.
There’s some continuity from last year in the form of amazing leading women being a juggernaut, but a welcome new change was also a lot of great directors this year, that category had some hard cuts!
Disagree with my nominees? Comment below, or tweet @bemovieseemovie to let me know what I screwed up. I’d love to know what your thoughts are!
