I’ve always found SHAWSHANK to be quite overrated, while FORREST GUMP is entertaining though not Best Picture material.

PULP FICTION gets my vote but even my love for it has dimmed in recent years.

I do have to acknowledge QUIZ SHOW which was a very well made movie that held up well on my somewhat recent rewatch of it. FOUR WEDDINGS, while probably not on my personal shortlist, is a very good romantic comedy.

RED, ED WOOD, and ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA are three films I would’ve considered for nominations.

Good performances but I had to also go for Lane for giving Roy Cohn some new interesting shades that only he could provide while also being quite surprising.

I went with this year’s winner as it was a combo of great performance and such a wonderful career.

For such a flawed musical, it’s amazing how stellar PIPPIN can turn out when staged and performed by such talented people.

I voted for A View from the Bridge, as it completely made me rethink everything about that show. It was a stunning exercise.

I did love quite a few of these other winners though.

Honestly, I could make a case for several of these but for now, I’m tossing my vote to a Andrew Garfield.
