The Movie Room

Not a lot of change this month, as I’ve only seen 4 new movies (bringing my year-to-date total to 70). Saturday Night got 3 nominations, Smile 2 got 2 nominations, Conclave got 9 nominations, and nothing for Here, which I just saw earlier today. Next month is full of many new movies that should make a real impact, so not sure how well those nominations (except for the ones for Conclave) will stick. As before, the winner comes first and then the other nominees are listed alphabetically.
