Hi! There’s a few changes between this list and my write-ups, seeing new films and reconsidering perspectives, though I still love all the stuff that didn’t translate between here and there. Shorn of the few six-spots I couldn’t resist writing about, this will probably be subject to change the more I see old 2017 titles or rethink the ones I’ve already seen. Runner-ups will be listed alphabetically.
* – original nominee that subsequent became a runner-up
** – nominee that was originally recognized in a different category
^ – runner-up that was originally a nominee
^^ – runner-up that was a nominee and then became a runner-up again
” – film seen after original ballot was posted
