2024

These awards are really just a bit of fun, so I've decided to add two new categories: Best Collaboration (for 2 or more actors, writers, directors, etc.) and Best Artist (for artistic achievement, as my favorite film of the year isn't always the one I'd call the best). In addition, I've nixed the honorary award. I'll update my other ballots with these changes, too.
