Mallard's Top 10 of 2022
Oscar nominations were announced this morning so I'm dropping my top 10 list. Caveat: I haven't seen Tar, The Banshees of Inisherin (not a Martin McDonagh fan but I'll give it a try!), All Quiet on the Western Front, Triangle of Sadness, or Women Talking. 1. Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio- This was nominated for Best Animated Feature and will likely win. It should have been nominated for Best Picture as well. The only animated films to ever be nominated for Best Picture are Beauty and the Beast (1991), Up (2009), and Toy Story 3 (2010), so I think we're due for another animated film being recognized. Why not GDT's stop-motion Pinocchio ? The animation and voice acting are excellent, and del Toro continues to cement his legacy with another instant classic. Check out the making-of documentary on Netflix as well. 2. Nope- 0 nominations by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Perhaps they didn't see it, because it's outstanding. Jordan Peele
