Belgium’s equivalent of the Oscars, the Magritte Awards, were recently held, and while Close didn’t win the top honors, it did walk away with 7 awards. https://cineuropa.org/en/newsdetail/439576

I finally managed to see all 5 nominees this year, and here are my rankings and grades:

1. All Quiet On The Western Front—10/10
2. Argentina, 1985—10/10
3. Close—9/10
4. EO—9/10
5. The Quiet Girl—8/10

I think All Quiet On The Western Front will deservedly win tonight.

It’s sad to see a film winning that brought absolutely nothing new to the table.

I’d have voted for Decision To Leave but Oops, since it wasn’t even nominated I belive all the four other nominees would have been better choices especially with them being fresher.

We went from Parasite-Another Round & Drive My Car to this same old stuff.

Personal ranking of last ten winners

1. Parasite
2. Son of Saul
3. All Quiet on the Western Front
4. The Salesman
5. Another Round
6. Drive My Car
7. A Fantastic Woman
8. Roma
9. Ida

I didn’t get to see The Great Beauty.

P.S. It really is a damn shame that Joyland didn’t make the cut this season.

I just love movies. And awards.

Saint Omer should have been sweeping this category tbh

If anyone is interested international-feature.com is having a virtual film festival with 13 of the submissions.  It looks interesting.  I already bought a pass.
