I will give you my choices for the best in movies of the past year. I only include movies that I have actually viewed. As of family illness I have viewed most of the movies of note for 2017 but because I have to wait for flicks to come to various services or blue ray, my picks again are limited and I will get to enjoy the balance of films of 2018 in 2019. The films I have chosen in my lists for my awards are outstanding and I would not include a movie or performance if not worthy.
My awards for the movies I saw in 2018 for that year:
Best Director: Paul Schrader, First Reformed
Best Actor: Ethan Hawke, First Reformed
Best Actress: Jennifer Lawrence, Red Sparrow
Best Supporting Actor: Tim Blake Nelson, The Ballad of Buster Scrugs
Best Supporting Actress: Amanda Seyfried, First Reformed
Best Film Drama: First Reformed
Best Film Comedy/Musical: Paddington 2
