Working nominations list for this year's Antie Awards
Welp. Here we are again. Another year almost down the tubes. I can say this year is nowhere near as good as last year in terms of film. At least in my opinion. Granted we haven't hit Oscar season yet. I think that actually starts tomorrow. I'm going to catch up on my long list of potential nominees for 2024. It will be narrowed down once I've seen most of what counts for this year. Probably in January or later. I really haven't seen much on streaming but I've seen a ton in the theater. I've transported last years categories but I think I'm going to have to make new categories because this year was completely different. These are in alphabetical order. Consider it an extremely rough draft that will continue to grow. (Have not seen as of last update: The Last Showgirl, The Brutalist, Better Man)
