The Fifteenth Annual MYeah Awards - WINNERS!

Is it already that time again? It feels like yesterday when I was breezing through 2021, finally catching up and getting back into movies, and now another year in cinema has come and gone with 2022. And honestly, I liked last year better.

I did have a wide range of films to choose from, a little over 100 titles seen at the time of posting. But it seemed to vary. I remember March and April yielding some great achievements, but then summer came, and aside from the odd sleeper, the slate just felt… barren. Thankfully, some quality snuck back in with the last third, but honestly, I found too few films to be truly passionate about. In fact, there are several categories here whose winners have been set since April.

But quality there still was, and I hope my lineups are still a fun read.

Also, quick side note: As usual, my nominees are listed alphabetically. But in the case of Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, I’ll be ordering that film by its title, not by its director (don’t @ me).

With all that addressed, we finally become an annual event again! It’s the fifteenth MYeah Award nominations!
