My 2017 in Review is beginning to wind down with the film prizes. I always like to do a special film prize post because there’s a plethora of movies and performances and not all the time can you highlight them in an Oscar ballot. I’ve included some of my usual awards and added a couple of categories from my LAOFCS voting. Enjoy!
