To end this year in film and commemorate another award season, here are my preferred choices on the 2019 Oscar ballot. This year's award season has been grueling and often bad. Among other things, it would be impossible to ignore the films of female filmmakers or the amount of great international films this year, yet both seem likely to happen!
Regardless, the films, performances and crafts that stuck out for me this year are below. My winners in each category are listed in bold and the runners-up in italics. Enjoy!
