Here they are, my absolute favourite films of the year. Read Part I and Part II for the scoop on #6-15. 5. Argo At the Golden Globes on Sunday there weren’t very many standing ovations. Obviously the Cecil B. DeMill recipient got the traditional stand-and-applaud (this time, Jodie Foster), but other than her I […]
Here it is, folks, the final set of nominees in our 2012 Awards Season. You’ve seen the My TV Award nominations, the My Theatre Award nominations and even our first-ever set of My Games Award nominations. And here, hours after The Golden Globes pushed back against Oscar folly by awarding Ben Affleck and Argo, are […]
If you haven’t read Part I of this over-written countdown, you should go do that now (I worked hard on these!). I’ll wait…. … … … … … Are you back? Okay, here’s Part II. It’s got two relatively small films, two massive world-wide blockbusters, and one new release featuring the breakout star of […]
