The Movie Room

Last month I’d seen a total of 78 eligible films and now I’m up to 101, and so far 34 of them (up from 30 last month) have made my dream nominations list. Bugonia, Nuremberg, Wicked: For Good, Frankenstein, and Wake Up Dead Man have added a lot of nominees, while Sally did not qualify for documentary films, so that one got off (as well as The Ugly Stepsister in international film). Nominees are listed alphabetically, with my chosen winners in bold.
