The nominations for the 2019 NBP Film Community Awards will be announced tomorrow 1/18/19 but we thought, why stop there? We just wrapped up an entire decade's worth of movies. Why not give you all the chance to vote on what you feel was the best that these past 10 years had to offer? Which is why we are announcing The NBP Film Community Awards For The 2010s. This ballot is longer than the usual ones with more slots to vote for nominees. Take your time as we will not be tallying these up until February 2nd 2020. The winners will be announced after the Oscars. Click below to fill out the form for the NBP Film Community Award Nominations For The 2010s.

I began my Oscars and awards season journey in 2007-2008. I’ve lived through film and everything awards-wise in this decade in real-time. I’ve grown into the person I am through this journey. My tastes have evolved as the decade has gone on, and I’ve found a happy medium of how I like to look at films, analyze them, and learn to appreciate various aspects of them. When I think about this past decade in film and their concurrent awards seasons, 2010-2019 was an arc of personal growth for me. My trademark on Next Best Picture is the passion I have in my analysis or even advocacy for films that move me. It’s a blessing and a curse because, like many of us who invest so much into Oscar season, when things within awards season don’t go my way, it can lead to vast disappointment.

Looking back on all of the movies, performances, and moments from 2019, it’s been a pretty phenomenal year. One of my favorite aspects of a film is when it incorporates the perfect song to accompany a scene. I’m not just talking about moments from musicals (although, I probably could have made a Top 10 list solely based on “A Star is Born” last year), I’m talking about any moment in a film that finds a way to incorporate music in an exciting way. Finding the perfect harmony between song and scene is a true art form and I want to highlight that. These are my Top 10 Cinematic Musical Moments of 2019.

The most acclaimed animated film of 2019 is now an Oscar nominee for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song. "Toy Story 4" is a sequel to one of the most beloved trilogies of all time and there were some initial doubts about whether or not the story would be worth telling. Winner of the Critics Choice Award for Best Animated Film, "Toy Story 4" has not only proven to be a worthy entry in the "Toy Story" series but under the direction of Josh Cooley, it has achieved new heights for the entire Pixar team. Listen to our interview with Josh as he explains the making of "Toy Story 4." Thank you so much for listening.

What a year. Although 2019, for me, doesn't rise to the levels of achievement seen in 2013 and 2018 as a year in film, it's been a terrifically solid year of substantive releases and industry change. I was particularly satisfied with Netflix, its slate of films, and how they began to rewrite the rules of awards season and release schedules. I'm excited for more urgent awards-focused films being released on its platform, easily available to people such as myself who don’t live in a metropolitan area. As a structural alteration to previous years, I have appreciated the condensed awards season. As a pundit, the shortened calendar has made the process more fun; the steady pace has allowed the season to not grow stale (so far). Being a member of Film Independent has also been an especially worthwhile experience this year, allowing me to enjoy many more opportunities with screening smaller films that otherwise wouldn’t have been readily available. I watched 97 films released in 2019, and in this piece, I will narrow down the top percentile based on my experience and taste. More than anything, my greatest pet peeve is when critics and pundits alter or cater their opinions to blend in with the consensus and pass some sort of cinephile purity test. The choices below reflect that integrity. I take pride in my taste always being reflective of who I am and how I feel about film without pretense. It was difficult to narrow down simply ten films in the list below. A few honorable mentions which didn’t crack my top ten are as follows: “One Child Nation,” “A Vigilante,” “The Lighthouse,” “Booksmart,” “Us,” “Les Miserables,” “Avengers: Endgame,” “Pain and Glory,” “Late Night,” and “For Sama.”
