While everyone gets hyped up about
tomorrow morning’s Academy Award nominations, I could probably be less
interested this year. While Oscar pundits get excited over some of the middling
films that will populate the lists tomorrow, I’m hoping that some years down
the roads, the films that dominate my own top films list will become cherished classics.
For fun, I’ve submitted my own ballot, following the style of the Academy
Awards (ten films ranked for Best Picture, five nominations for all other
categories). I’ve presented it without comment—again, go to my top 15 list for
commentary on most of these picks.
