With 17 different citations, Wes Anderson's Asteroid City is the nomination leader.Since 2018, Patrick Gratton has been organizing the Gold Digger Awards, welcoming fellow critics and cinephiles to vote on the year's best achievements in film. Though no such voting was done in 2021 or 2022, the Gold Diggers are back with a new group of over forty folks who write about the cinematic arts, including some members of Team Experience, like Nick Taylor, Ben Miller and myself. Diversity of identity and thought is prized above all else, a plurality of opinions coming together in idiosyncratic fashion, widely different ballots all around, even if just the first half of 2023 was considered. Specifically, US release dates were judged, despite the voting body including numerous nationalities. Whether they opened in theaters or streaming, these films reach nearly 800 eligible titles – a fantastic bounty of cinema.

We're revisiting the 1951 film year in the lead up to the next Supporting Actress Smackdown. As always Nick Taylor will suggest a few alternatives to Oscar's ballot.
Each writer here at The Film Experience has our checklist of cinematic fetishes. Those qualities we look out for whenever we watch a film, a list of glories we breathlessly recite the way Nicole Kidman talks about going to the movie theater in her Nobel Prize-winning AMC ad. Cinematography so elegant the camera moves like silk. Depictions of sex that recognize it as a real human connection, something that can be playful and disatisfying, and is worth as much consideration in the buildup and the comedown as when it’s happening. Beautiful, immaculately assembled people gliding around gorgeous locales and gleefully succumbing to their libidos. Actresses fulfilling roles that are equal parts familiar archetypes and fleshy, hot-blooded individuals (you know I’m a...

Remember the good old days when the rose ceremony eliminations used to be the most dramatic concluding moment of each episode of The Bachelor? Well, it appears that Nick Viall's quest for love has veered off down that oh-so-popular detour of manufactured cliffhangers, which have now concluded all but the season 21 premiere episode.
First, there was Nick booting Nick F***er Jen over her loose lips and the burning-like-gonorrhea question of whether the other women would accept his reasoning for letting her stick around in the first place. Then we had to deal with Vanessa confronting Nick about his intentions with Corinne, followed by the very serious businesswoman's ongoing feud with biracial rollerblading-in-a-crop-top too-smart-for-Nick Taylor that will end in a not-so-Viall'ed two-on-one date.
