Best Picture
If the Academy can choose up to 10 nominees, so can we! Most of these films we’ve already discussed in detail, so here, we want to highlight two specifically: By the Grace of God and 5B. Grace may end up in the Best Foreign Language film category; it’s a story of several French men bringing to light the sex abuse within the Catholic church. It’s as powerful as just about anything else this year, with one exception: the documentary 5B. Documentaries don’t get nearly the love they deserve in the Best Picture category, which is a shame: 5B is the best film of 2019. The story of the world’s first AIDS ward told through the eyes of those that worked there, it made us cry harder than any other movie last year…and filled us with more hope than any other as well.

I’d probably show some love for Little Women and Ford v. Ferrari both in Best Picture and acting categories.
