Top 5 Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy Performances

Before Midnight (2013)

Richard Linklater's Before trilogy is coming to an end(?) next month, and many (myself included) are anxious to see what happens to Jesse and Celine. Since Before Midnight is opening in a matter of weeks, I decided to take a brief look at Ethan Hawke's and Julie Delpy's best performances to date.

1939 CinSpec Awards

Starting today, I'll be completing my Decades series (or starting a My Ballot one?) by posting a full lineup of nominees every week. (So, these ballots will be linked on the Awards page with the winner posts.)

The Passing of a Legend

Here's the story at the Chicago Tribune.

R.I.P., Roger. Here's hoping you and Gene are debating a film right now.

Best Director: A Complete List of Winners

Orson Welles scored consecutive wins.

On Friday, I'll begin posting full lineups of each category I've done for my Decades feature. I'll be posting them by year, and I'll post a lineup from a different decade each week. (But more on that later.)  In addition to those categories, I wanted to add Best Director to the lineup, so here's all of my winners. Most match my Best Picture winners, but those that do not are indicated with an asterisk (*).

Ball of Fire (1941) vs. The Lady Eve (1941)

Both screwball comedies feature Barbara Stanwyck as a woman who falls in love whilst deceiving a gullible man. (SPOILERS)

Question About Friday's Post

"I have a question."

As per majority opinion, I will be posting a full lineup of nominees starting this Friday. My question is this: how would you prefer them? I could post them by year or by category. I've got a system worked out for a yearly format, which will allow me to do a different decade each week. But if you want them by category, I have a second question: Which category (listed below) should I do first? Let me know in the comments. Thanks.
