2023 EOTY Entertainment Lists • Page 4

It's really good.

 

As with every year since I cared, I’ve got things I missed that almost certainly would’ve ranked up there. Not gonna list those gaps, though, for the same reason I ain’t waiting ‘til sometime in January to make my list: who cares, y’know? This is all meaningless, lol. I only do these as a snapshot of my movie watching over the course of a year, as I change calendars and look both back and forward.

Anyways, here’s some cinematic shit that I dug in one way or another, in a numbered list to reflect my gut feelings as of right now:

1. Poor Things (Yorgos Lanthimos)
2. Barbie (Greta Gerwig)
3. Priscilla (Sofia Coppola)
4. Oppenheimer (Christopher Nolan)
5. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 (James Gunn)
6. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, Justin K. Thompson)
7. Polite Society (Nida Manzoor)
8. Killers of the Flower Moon (Martin Scorsese)
9. Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret (Kelly Fremon Craig)

I'd do a bottom five but I only had one film I outright disliked so I'm not gonna do that. But Saltburn was the worst I saw this year.

Gonna be extra and do "awards" too lol

 

Why separate male and female actors?

 

personally? i wouldn't. all major awards do and i posted that elsewhere as a "my oscar choices" thing. so that's why.

3. Emma Stone (Poor Things)
4. Carey Mulligan (Maestro)
5. Sandra Huller (Anatomy of a Fall)
6. Zac Efron (The Iron Claw)
7. Natalie Portman (May December)
8. Greta Lee (Past Lives)
9. Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers)
10. Paula Beer (Afire)

Best Supporting:

1. Charles Melton (May December)
2. Milo Machado Graner (Anatomy of a Fall)
3. Da'Vine Joy Randolph (The Holdovers)
4. John Magaro (Past Lives + Showing Up)
5. Penelope Cruz (Ferrari)
6. Jeremy Allen White (The Iron Claw)
7. Mark Ruffalo (Poor Things)
8. Maura Tierney (The Iron Claw)
9. Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer)
10. Dominic Sessa (The Holdovers)

Very late list. I held off thinking I would see more things, but not a lot that I've been excited for has hit streaming in an affordable way and I'm not trying to go to a theater. Still very excited for Godzilla, Zone of Interest and Iron Claw. Mildly curious about Poor Things. I'm sure there's plenty that weren't even on my radar that I would love.

 

As usual, I didn't get a chance to see a lot of the art/indie films I would have liked to before years end. That said, it was a good year for movies and tv overall. Rather than throwing in movies like KotFM and Asteroid City, my honorable mentions are movies that I don't see get mentioned as much. Same goes for tv.

Movies:
1. Across The Spider-Verse
2. Oppenheimer
3. Guardians of the Galaxy 3
4. Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning
5. Past Lives
6. Barbie
7. John Wick 4
8. Leave The World Behind
9. May December
10. No One Will Save You

Honorable Mentions: How To Blow Up A Pipeline, They Cloned Tyrone, The Passenger, Rye Lane, Birth/Rebirth.

TV:
1. Scavengers Reign (Max)
2. The Last of Us (Max)
3. Mrs. Davis (Peacock)
4. Fionna and Cake (Max)
5. I Think You Should Leave (Netflix)
6. Succession (Max)
7. Blue Eye Samurai (Netflix)
8. The Bear (Hulu)
9. Dead Ringers (Prime)
10. How To With John Wilson (Max)

Honorable Mentions: Reservation Dogs, Warrior, A Murder at the End of the World, Servant

 

I still haven't finished it, but after just seeing 2 episodes of Scavengers Reign, I can say it's one of the most underrated shows of the year. Looks incredible.

 

May December was their number one.

 

I never made a list last year so here it is:
1. Killers of the Flower Moon
2. Oppenheimer
3. Zone of Interest
4. May December
5. The Iron Claw
6. The Holdovers
7. Asteroid City
8. The Killer
9. Poor Things
10. Barbie

 

Same:

1. Pacifiction
2. Zone of Interest
3. Killers of the Flower Moon
4. About Dry Grasses
5. All of us Strangers
6. Barbie
7. Fallen leaves
8. May December

If I had wrote it in time for the end of 2023 it would have been
1. Pacifiction
2. Killers
3. Barbie

 

My final list always comes a few months later than my January 1st one, but it was mostly the same.
