I’m getting antsy and bored with this season, so I thought I would go ahead and start this thread. Many of you are using the Oscars’ eligibility calendar this year, so no need to post until you’ve seen everything you want–but also feel free to post and update as you see fit, obviously. Personally, I’ll just be sticking to 2020, and any films from January and February will be considered this time next year.

Anyway, excited to see what you all loved this past year and some change!

I’ll post mine in the morning. I was waiting for a couple of films but I don’t think I’ll be able to watch them for a while.
