7th Annual Friendly Film Fan Awards Nominees (Full List)

The Friendly Film Fan Announces Its 7th Annual Awards Nominees​.

Boy, it has been a long road through awards season hasn’t it? All the guilds have come and gone, the Oscars are on Sunday, and we don’t even have our final Oscars predictions piece up yet (fear not, it’s coming). But take heart! A far more important (and shorter) awards season is just beginning. By now, those of you who follow us on Instagram or one of our other socials know what I’m talking about, but just in case, here is a formal announcement:
 
WELCOME TO THE 7TH ANNUAL FRIENDLY FILM FAN AWARDS NOMINATIONS!
 
2022 was a solid year for film, one that brought renewed interest back to theatrical exhibition, generated some of the most creative cinematic art ever, and had us all wondering: “when are we getting the Barbie trailer?” Last year was also the very first year that I went to the New York Film Festival (though I was representing Bitesize Breakdown in that instance), and I got to see a lot of great art and meet a lot of great people. Some of that great art even made its way into this list, while other pieces have yet to be released formally, but all of it was worth experiencing at least once. That said, you’re not here for New York nostalgia, so let’s not waste any more time on introductions. Here is the full list of your nominees for the 7th Annual Friendly Film Fan Awards!
