Ladies and gentlemen, the Third Annual Awards Radar Awards are coming to a close. For part three of this awards series (part one is here and part two is here), we’re handing out our prizes in a multitude of categories. I already revealed my Actor and Actress of year, as well as my Top Ten list. Now, you’ll find out my picks for Best Director, Best Animated Feature, and so on. Consider this putting a bow on 2022. I know I’m not alone when I say bring on 2023 (especially with the way this one ended for me, with a touch of the flu), so let’s get this started. Look for more discussion of these winners on the most recent Awards Radar podcast episode, but right now, it’s time to hand out some prizes…
