Here's mine: https://letterboxd.com/eyekanfly/list/e...s-of-2023/

Subject to change, but unless something drastic changes, here are my acting and score choices:

Actor:
- Enzo Vogrincic as Numa Turcatti in Society of the Snow
- Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer in Oppenheimer
- Esteban Kukuriczka as Fito Strauch in Society of the Snow
- Robert Downey Jr. as Lewis Strauss in Oppenheimer
- Ryan Gosling as (Beach) Ken in Barbie
- Jay Baruchel as Mike Lazaridis in Blackberry
- Teo Yoo as Hae Sung in Past Lives
- Glenn Howerton as Jim Balsillie in Blackberry
- Agustín Pardella as Nando Parado in Society of the Snow
- Milo Machado-Graner as Daniel Maleski in Anatomy of a Fall

Actress:
- Lily Gladstone as Mollie Burckhart in Killers of the Flower Moon
- Greta Lee as Nora in Past Lives
- Margot Robbie as (Stereotypical) Barbie in Barbie
- Sandra Hüller as Sandra Voyter in Anatomy of a Fall
- Carey Mulligan as Felicia Montealegre Bernstein in Maestro
- Emma Stone as Bella Baxter in Poor Things
- Ariela Barer as Xochitl in How to Blow Up a Pipeline
- Sasha Lane as Theo in How to Blow Up a Pipeline
- Ayo Edibiri as Josie in Bottoms
- Rachel Sennott as PJ in Bottoms

Acting honorable mentions:
- Messi as Snoop in Anatomy of a Fall
- Antoine Reinartz as the Prosecutor General in Anatomy of a Fall (hated this guy which makes me think his performance was excellent, but wasn't really developed enough to include above)
- all the rest of the actors and actress in Society of the Snow

Score:
- Black Country, New Road Live at Bush Hall
- Barbie (soundtrack by various artists produced by Mark Ronson, score by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt)
- Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse by Daniel Pemberton
- Killers of the Flower Moon by Robbie Robertson
- Asteroid City (compilation soundtrack by various artists, score by Alexandre Desplat)
- Oppenheimer by Ludwig Göransson
- Past Lives by Christopher Bear and Daniel Rossen
- Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (compilation soundtrack by various artists, score by John Murphy)
- Nimona by Cristophe Beck
- The Super Mario Bros. Movie by Brian Tyler & Koji Kondo
- Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves by Lorne Balfe

I've included 11 for score; I picked Guardians of the Galaxy almost entirely for the compilation soundtrack and not the original stuff, so if that's ineligible please throw D&D in at the end.

Thanks EyeKanFly— will tally in 1 sec—

I'm going to tally your acting lists in ascending order (Enzo & Lily @ #1, etc, Milo & Rachel at #10)— let me know if that's wrong though.

I completely disregarded Live At Bush Hall's eligibility. You're right though— technically a film score Think

(a la Stop Making Sense). I'm going to rule out the Guardians of The Galaxy soundtrack due to the reason you mentioned (more a soundtrack than an original score).

And I thought about allowing Messi to be included, but suppose that opens a can of worms. Phenomenal performance of course.

Yes about order for acting & score, sorry for the confusion!

Sounds good about the soundtracks/score as well. Live at Bush Hall was my 2nd favorite album of last year, no-brainer for score if it's eligible. I assume something like Eras Tour wouldn't be eligible since it's a compilation album of sorts? Haven't watched that yet but I probably will before the deadline.

Another edit. Loved Evil Does Not Exist. If there was enough time before the deadline I foresee my rewatch bumping it even higher.

All good, tallied— one of my higher late-watch entries myself. Really good film from Hamaguchi. Sometimes I forget the wave of accolades Drive My Car unexpectedly got... still haven't quite come to terms it got a BP nom. A fantastic, equally subtle follow-up. Hamaguchi's found his sound.

Interesting spread from the submissions so far— 141 films submitted, but not a lot of overlap between the lists. Hoping to get at least another 5-6 in before the deadline Smile

Also edited my scores list because I completely overlooked Sakamoto (I wasn't the biggest fan of Monster and I even went to see it twice).
