Well, the time has come. Yes, the Fifth 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 2024. I know I’m not alone when I say bring on 2025 (given how this one has wrapped up), so let’s get this started. Look for more discussion of these winners on the next episode of the Awards Radar podcast episode, but right now, it’s time to hand out some prizes…

Congratulations to all of the winners of the Fifth Annual Awards Radar Awards!
[…] The Fifth Annual Awards Radar Awards (Part Three): The Big Finish! […]
My favorite part of your ballot is how you didn’t include a single one of Emilia Pérez‘s tedious, clunky musical numbers as a nominee for Best Original Song.
The fact that the songs did so little for me probably has a lot to do with why the movie didn’t fully land for me.
