1st Golden Hourglass Awards

Back in 2020, a friend of mine, Alex, and I were rather unimpressed with the Oscars that year. I can't remember which decision exactly it was that led to us getting annoyed with them that year, but we decided we would each do our own versions instead. Using the same time frame and mostly the same categories, but with our own rules about which movies we'd consider, we set out to decide what movies we would have nominated in each category. He called his awards the Silver Sail Awards. I called mine the Golden Hourglass Awards.

These are the films I had chosen back in 2020 as my nominees for 2019 for the Golden Hourglasses. My only criteria for films…
