6th Annual AcadeMitch Awards
As always, for most categories (it’s been a tough season and parenting a toddler sucks the energy out of you!), I'll give:
Will Win: the nominee I predict will win.
Should Win: the nominee I would personally vote for (not necessarily the best)
Shoulda Been: the film/performance I wish would have been nominated.
Could Win: another nominee I could also see winning
AcadeMitch Awards: the films/performances I would have nominated in order of preference/achievement (only for the major categories this year)
