Great picks Gabi!
DeleteI was tempted to include Macbeth in my long list somewhere, but felt like it was still a 50/50 chance that it might stay in 2015. I am excited for the project though and can't wait to see what Fassbender and Cotillard are able to do with it.
So good to have you back!
ReplyDeleteThanks my friend! It's good to be back and I'm going to do my best to keep things on track this year, at least for the major categories.
