Total Films: 25
Note:
The year of each film is according to IMDb. It sometimes changes without my knowledge. When I become aware,
I will make adjustments. Like the Oscars, I select the best for each category: picture, actor, actress,
supporting actor, supporting actress, director, cinematography, editing, original screenplay, adapted
screenplay, and documentary. This is based on the movies I've actually seen, and miniseries and telefilms
are fair game. Each winner is named along with the next four ordered runner-ups (which may be less) and
honorable mentions (if any). Any of these categories may be left blank if I feel there's no deserving
winner. A ranked list of films is presented afterwards.
