Tonight's the night! As of this evening, the 2016 awards season officially begins with the Golden Globes, honoring excellence in film and television.

The nominations for the EE British Academy Film Awards in 2016 have been announced. Bridge of Spies and Carol each receive nine nominations.

Nominations for the 5th Annual International Awards from the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts have been announced.

Now that 2015 is squarely in the rearview mirror, and everyone is back to work after the holidays, it is time to take a look at some of the best films of the past year. As was the case with my Top 15 TV Shows of 2015 list, this is not intended to be a comprehensive list. I am one man, and I have not yet seen every major movie released last year. However, as I continue to work through screeners and upcoming screenings (I live in Orlando, so not all of the awards-bait has been released here yet), I will count down the top 2015 releases that I saw during the calendar year. Notable omissions are BRIDGE OF SPIES, THE REVENANT, THE DANISH GIRL, and CONCUSSION, all of which I hope to see by the end of the week.
