What If Lisa Picked The Oscar Nominees: 2017 Edition
With the Oscar nominations due to be announced tomorrow, now is the time that the Shattered Lens indulges in a little something called, “What if Lisa had all the power.” Listed below are my personal Oscar nominations. Please note that these are not the films that I necessarily think will be nominated. The fact of the matter is that the many of them will not. Instead, these are the films that would be nominated if I was solely responsible for deciding the nominees this year. Winners are starred and listed in bold.
(You’ll also note that I’ve added four categories, all of which I believe the Academy should adopt — Best Voice-Over Performance, Best Casting, Best Stunt Work, and Best Overall Use Of Music In A Film.)
(Click on the links to see my nominations for 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, and 2010!)

2017 in Review: Lisa Marie’s Picks for the 26 Best Films Of The Year
Well, it’s time for the list that everyone’s been waiting for! Today, I finish up my look back at the previous year by listing my 26 favorite films of 2017!
(Why 26? Because Lisa doesn’t do odd numbers!)
Now, I should make clear that I haven’t seen every film that was released in 2017. Are you looking at this list and asking yourself, “What about I, Tonya? Phantom Thread? Call Me By Your Name? The Post?” The sad truth of the matter is that, largely due to bad weather and a severe cold that I’m still recovering from, I haven’t seen those films yet. (And, to be honest, everything that I’ve heard about The Post makes me suspect that it’s not going to be for me.) I’ll probably see all of those films next week but the thing is, there’s only so long that a film blogger can put off posting their best-of-the-year post. This is the end of the third week of January. I supposed I could have waited until February but, by that point, who would care?
As I see those films that I still need to see, I’ll modify this list as necessary. That said, I find it hard to believe that I’ll see any more 2017 films that I like more than the films in my current top ten.
(Unfortunately, because the previous year was a bit chaotic, I’m way behind in my reviewing. So, I haven’t posted reviews for all the films on my list. Hopefully, over the upcoming week, I’ll be able to catch up with that! And, fear not, my resolution for 2018 is not to get any further behind in my reviewing and I plan to stick to that.)

Here Are The Online Film Critics Society Nominations!
The winners will be announced on December 28th.
It’s interesting to note that The Post is almost totally shut out here. One thing I’ve noticed that critics who work for newspapers love The Post. They see it as proof of their importance. Online critics are far less impressed with The Post. They tend to view it as a lament for a dead medium, a somewhat stodgy celebration of the past. Whenever I finally get a chance to see The Post, I’ll let you know who’s right.
