filmlover Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Another year passed by, another chapter closed in the history books for cinema. 2016 was one of the best years ever at the movies for me: set a new personal record for most movies from a single year seen in theaters (70), saw a ton of quality films across different genres as possible. I didn't get around to seeing everything that I wanted to before the deadlines, but hey, can't win 'em all. To see the list of all the movies from 2016 that I saw, check below: This year was tough for some of the categories (in particular, the acting ones) because there were some choices so good that it sucked to have to snub them. But with only a field of 5, there isn't room for everybody. Without further ado, here are my choices for the best in 2016! Best Movie La La Land And the Rest of My Top 10 2. Manchester by the Sea 3. Arrival 4. Moonlight 5. Love & Friendship 6. Hell or High Water 7. Zootopia 8. Eye in the Sky 9. Fences 10. The Edge of Seventeen Honorable Mentions: Hacksaw Ridge, Lion, Moana, Finding Dory, The Jungle Book And now, my awards for the rest with the winners in bold: Best Ensemble Fences Hell or High Water Hidden Figures Manchester by the Sea Moonlight Best Director Damien Chazelle, La La Land Barry Jenkins, Moonlight Kenneth Lonergan, Manchester by the Sea Denis Villeneuve, Arrival Denzel Washington, Fences Best Actor Casey Affleck, Manchester by the Sea Andrew Garfield, Hacksaw Ridge Ryan Gosling, La La Land Ryan Gosling, The Nice Guys Denzel Washington, Fences Best Actress Amy Adams, Arrival Kate Beckinsale, Love & Friendship Tariji P.
