I’ll stick with the Academy’s format for this, which means I have to refrain from listing Best Animated Feature, Best Foreign Language Film and Best Documentary Feature. I simply didn’t see enough films to fill up those categories. I’m skipping the shorts as well. Also, I’ll be sticking with what was campaigned for (supporting vs. lead and original vs. adapted) and eligibility rules. That means I’ll be leaving out Upstream Color, despite it deserving many commendations. (If you’re curious, it should be nominated for Best Picture, Director, Actress, Film Editing, Sound Mixing, Sound Editing, Score and Cinematography.)
