From the Team...
Which movie does the Film Experience team like the best? Paul, Phil and Maria are all anxiously awaiting.Few people love awards as much as The Film Experience team does. That’s why we can’t resist having our own awards announcement. The 10th Annual Team Experience Awards nominations have been revealed. These nominees were voted on by all the writers at The Film Experience, sans Nathaniel (who will be revealing his own Film Bitch Awards separately). Three movies dominated our ballots, receiving 10 votes apiece – Dune, The Power of the Dog and West Side Story. The team will be voting on the winners, which will be revealed next Wednesday, January 25th.

FUN FACTS
- A total of 41 movies received at least one nomination during the Team Experience awards.
- Across the team’s Best Picture ballots, 64 movies in total were mentioned.
- All five of the nominees for BEST FILM NOT IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE appear in either BEST PICTURE or BEST DIRECTOR.
- Four out of five of the BEST ACTRESS nominees were in films also nominated for BEST PICTURE. Only one of the five BEST ACTOR nominees is in a film nominated for BEST PICTURE.
- Women make up two out of five BEST DIRECTOR nominees and are a part of four of the ten writing teams for SCREENPLAY.
- BEST ENSEMBLE doesn’t necessarily mean “Best Standout Performance.” Two of the five nominees for BEST ENSEMBLE (The Harder They Fall, Drive My Car) did not earn a single nomination in any of the four acting categories.
- The BEST ENSEMBLE category also has zero overlap with the SAG Awards category for Outstanding Cast.
- FLEE managed to earn nominations in four feature categories – BEST PICTURE, BEST FILM NOT IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, BEST ANIMATED FEATURE and BEST DOCUMENTARY FEATURE.
- Not all frontrunners are invincible. West Side Story may have led nominations, but it missed out in Best Cinematography.
