TRIANGLE OF SADNESS MADE IT IN!!!!!!

​

This is the most joyous surprise I've seen in ages - maybe ever?!?!?!  In terms of the balance of "YES, THIS IS MY FAVE OF THE YEAR AND DESERVES IT" and "WHAT A SURPRISE" - probably so.

​

I predicted the enthralling debatably-hot-mess Babylon, and was wrong.  Sad to see it miss, as it was my third favorite of the year; but... butted out by Triangle - I'm all groovy with that.

As per usual, I find half of these to be B/B+ movies; but c'est la vie...

​

​

As for the win, we've got a realllll Fabel/Everything/Banshees 3-way race on our hands!!  But at the moment, the edge seems to be for the most-nominated Everything, as hard as it is to imagine a movie featuring hot dog fingers and action sequences involving sex toys winning the big prize... It may be too polarizing (a feature that doesn't tend to do well with a preferential ballot), but I sense that the passion vote is there and broad enough.  Fabelmans seems to be fading, but certainly still stands a shot as the "safe choice", and Banshees could really storm in there...
