the point of this exercise isn't merely to stand in contrast to industry awards shows but to shine light on other works/achievements/performances that might've not gotten enough consideration during their initial releases
Past ballots at The Wandering Image:
1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019
To view my Top 30 films of 2020, visit the Final Cinema.
Note: I'm not going to separate foreign language films from english films on my ballot. It's bullshit and the academy shouldn't do it anymore either. Also, Oscar winner predictions will be added later this year beneath my *top pick in each category.
**Actual AMPAS nominees added 3/15/2021**
