Though the film year doesn't really end until Oscar night (you know it's true!) here are some cinematic dreams that we have for 2020 on this special night/morning...

We know you've waited a long time for them. As a New Year's Eve gift the charts for PICTURE, DIRECTOR, and INTERNATIONAL FILM have all been updated. Plus the REVIEWS index, too. More to come obviously as these updates were badly needed given all the precursor nominations we've seen.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Be safe tonight
Wednesday, December 25, 2019 at 7:45AM Our year in review continues. A new list daily.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HANUKKAH, HAPPY KWANZAA to our beloved readers!
For this festive morning of gift-giving, here's a list of some treasures from this year's movies that would make some lucky recipient smile from ear to ear. Which of these 7 would you most want to kiss Santa Claus for stuffing in your stocking this morning? Do tell in the comments.
(We wanted to include JLo's Hustlers fur or Tom Mercier's mustard Synonyms coat but we've never seen a stocking big enough to include either so we decided clothing was not allowed for this particular list)
• The 'Scholar's Rock' from Parasite. You'd have to be more careful with it than the Kims were but it did bring them sudden success as advertised.
• A Sith wayfinder from Rise of Skywalker. They are very rare so they're valuable. Though why would you want to go to Exegol? What a (surreal) dump...

Christmas movies, full of cheer, pretty lights, and sometimes reindeer. I grew up on ‘em, on Home Alone and Christmas Vacation. I continued loving ‘em as a big kid even, with Elf and The Santa Clause holding a special place in my cold heart. They used to be one of those seasonal things Hollywood did best, but as comedy has sunk, so have movies set during the holidays.
They were on the fast track to extinction, in fact, until streaming came along. Sure, there were Hallmark hate-watches and other network specials gasping for attention. Hallmark still has a certain devoted fan base despite the decline of cable television, but theatrical movie-going has been devoid of the holiday spirit for some time now. Thanks to Netflix, I’ve been able to indulge and Christmas party like it’s 1999, so here are three new Christmas films you may have heard of (there are two more I won’t even mention) that you may or may not want to spend time with this season...
