Welcome to my personal analysis of my favorite movies from 2023, which I like to call My Own Oscar Awards. After watching most of the nominations and beyond, I couldnโt help but compare these films to each other. My personal picks focused not on the names, prestige, or past work...
Just a quick heads-upโI've decided to switch up the domain for my media notes blog from `notes.ningkantida.com` to `notebook.ningnarrative.com`.ย Though, longer, I figured it's easier to remember and ties in with my blog name.
