The Lifting

Charming Clooney + Formidable Farmiga + Keen Kendrick = guaranteed Best Picture winner (and a lot of artmaking, arithmetic and alliteration from Alexa).

Money Honey

This was the year that everyone fell in love with Lady Gaga, and I have to admit I jumped on the bandwagon gleefully. How can you not fall hard for her mash-up of Freddie Mercury, dance pop, Cindy Sherman, Alexander McQueen and muppets?

Born Standing Up

This wild and crazy guy is going in my little one's stocking. Now she can hear her favorite song with banjo accompaniment!

Film Maker

By the mischievous Katherine Streeter.

Kiss

Broken Flowers, brought to you by Steve Dressler.
