Nominations: The SpyGlasses Full (2009)

Tweet

Huzzah; another year, another list: Below, please, find my official list of nominees for this year in film. Congratulations to all those who are so recognized, and thanks to all others who showed consideration-worthy work this year.

Small disclaimer: As I have not had the chance to see a handful of potentially nominable feature-length films (i. e., Coco avant Chanel [Coco before Chanel], The Last Station, Me and Orson Welles, Nine, Un Prophète [A Prophet], The Secret of Kells, and The White Ribbon), as well as a larger group of potentially nominable short films, future viewings of such films (before the actual awarding in each relevant category) may not be considered ineligible for effecting revisions of this list.
