Year-in Awards 2022

3rd annual Year-in AwardsAt last, weeks after the Academy Awards, we’re delivering on our curated list. To be fair and honest, the Year-In Awards are fairly expansive, listing each genre as best as we can—unless there’s simply not any solid films in a genre that year.Moving forward we we’re able to add-upon the 2nd annual list and added such things as: Best Childhood Actor, Romance (Genre).
