This decade was an incredibly trying one for me. I was diagnosed with depression, I’ve been suffering from terrible social anxiety, I’ve had family issues and bereavements, I’ve had to put a stop to some toxic relationships, it’s been hard for me to open up to anyone because of fear of getting hurt, and I’ve just been hit with some really bad luck. Needless to say, I have not had it easy. I’ve dealt with feelings and situations I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemies, and sometimes, I wondered why I even get out of bed in the morning.

It’s for those reasons that I always feel desperate for some escapism, and I mean it when I say movies, at times, were the only thing keeping me alive. This decade marked the point where I got more serious in my film watching habits, branching out with new genres and more out of left field filmmaking, sometimes stepping way out of my comfort zone to do so. As a result, I’ve amassed almost 1,000 films watched in the last decade alone. And through both the good and the bad, it all at least gave me something to focus on, to distract myself from the pain of the real world, and let me pretend that none of them mattered for a couple of hours.

Going into the 2020’s (once this Covid-19 pandemic dies down), I want this to be the decade I go from hating myself, to finally showing myself some love, which I’m already taking steps to do. But even so, I have no plans to slow down how many movies I take in. Without them, I doubt I’d have retained my sanity. They’re my favorite means of escape, a much needed breather in trying times, and within the space of the theater, a glorious shared experience I hope never goes away. Here’s to another ten years.

And to commemorate these achievements, the nominations for the first Decennial MYeah Awards are...

Been a hard decade for me too, for some of those same reasons. Hit me up on PM anytime. Love you Ryan!
:kiss:

This idea is super fun. I'd probably do it too but there's a lot I missed this last decade. I didn't start becoming really obsessive until 2018 so before that I typically wouldn't watch more than 60-80 films a year and now I have catching up to do. Looking forward to seeing your picks!

Guys, this can’t be said enough, after the ten years I’ve spent as a regular member of this board, from the bottom of my heart...

Thank you!

Times are tough, and they’ll continue to be, but when I needed to let off some steam or cheer myself up to take my mind off things, I’ve enjoyed every minute I’ve spent with this board. Through all the constant arguments, the infamous Rose Byrne wars, the sleepovers at Red’s, every

and “YES!”, and for those who like things really niche, the movies that ruined elevators for people...

I’ve had such a good time, and it continues to be a source of joy for me. As do movies, which, given that we may not get many new ones in the latest months, should give me time to reflect on older titles I’ve yet to turn my attention to.

Reflecting back on the decade was also a trip in its own right, and seeing the wide variety of films that impressed me, capping it off with the individual honors they received in each category. A toast for things to return to normal soon, so we may enjoy that next decade as much.

Without further ado, the 2010-2019 MYeah Awards go to...
