It’s the time of the year again to wrap-up the year with the best in film; thus, it’s my turn to announce my choices for the best in 2010. The past year was by a large margin a much better year for movies and performances, just when I was about ready to throw in the towel! It was the first year in a while that I saw an increase in numbers of films seen, with almost over 100.
This was also a very good year for actors and independent films, so good that most of my choices are either independent and foreign, and both supporting categories have six nominees each–they were that good! Not to mention Javier Bardem’s formidably hunting performance. Plus two special categories: Best Musical Score and Rolling Credits nominees and winners.
OK, without further ado, here is the list of nominees and winners for the 2010 Rammy Awards–drum roll please:-):
