And now to wrap up the year and my endless list-making with my 2018 Oscar ballot. The actual Oscar nominations come out next week, and despite what a fantastic year this has been, the chances of their list being truly terrible seem high!
I always have my differences with the Academy, but this year could be worse than ever before as they embrace some real duds and ignore most of the greatest films of the year. But we always hold out hope until the last minute that some of my choices below can make it through. Below are my picks in the major Oscar categories and some extra ones of my own choosing. Enjoy!
