rsadelleIn addition to reading 55 books in 2017, I saw 22 movies. (This is what happens when I don't have a fandom.) And so I give you a set of awards. Eligibility criteria: 1. The movie must have been in wide release in the US for the first time in 2017 and 2. I must have seen it. (Note: there is one category for which a movie has to meet only the first of these criteria. It will be obvious when you get there.)
