Best Picture Ballot
Even though I checked off my last of the ten contenders two weeks ago, I've held off formulating the 1-10 ranking because it wasn't very clear in my head. Much like the past few years, the very top of the list (1-2 or -3) was easy to settle on, but it became murky thereafter.
The big difference: the past three races, I was basically indifferent to anything beyond the top choices, and didn't much care about the order of what followed. This year, the opposite: I like everything on the list to one degree or another (plus a few that didn't make it: All of Us Strangers, May December), and have difficulty slotting one over or under the other.
So, my final/tentative take, with the caveat that pretty much the whole list would have been at least top 5 in any of 2020-2022.
