Best Original Song

• "Train Song" by The Newton Brothers, ft. Richard Patrick, for "The Bye Bye Man"

Best Score

• The Lovers - Mandy Hoffman

A humble dramedy of scarce focus and little dialogue, "The Lovers" sets much of its storytelling onto Mandy Hoffman's symphony, an unqualified masterpiece whose operatic tones, complex compositions and narrative progressions harken to traditional and neoromantic classicism as they bolster an allegory on the sweeping beauty of everyday passion, and ruthlessly defy all boundaries on movie music.

Best Animation

• Coco

Mounting an enchantingly designed world sculpted from Mexico's lively culture and dashingly distinct artistry, whilst filling it with full-personalitied characters who hit a mark between animated bounce and organic flow as tightly as ever, Pixar's "Coco" proves an even greater aesthetic triumph than it does a cinematic one.

Highlights:

• The Breadwinner
• Cars 3
• Ferdinand
• The Lego Batman Movie
• The Lego Ninjago Movie

Honorable Mentions:

• The Boss Baby
• Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie
• Despicable Me 3
• The Emoji Movie

• My Little Pony: The Movie
• The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature
• The Son of Bigfoot
• Spark: A Space Tail
• The Star

Best Animated Film

• The Breadwinner (3.5/5 - Good)

Cartoon Saloon's "The Breadwinner" is an undeniably cumbersome mix of childlike whimsy and brutal honesty that hinders momentum, manufactures melodrama and oppresses one with bleakness, only to be more than realized by an aesthetic imagination so unconventionally gorgeous, a dramatic imagination so strikingly poignant, and an exploration of Islam's dignity and modern-day corruption so thought-provoking that the final product surely rewards more profoundly than any other animated film of 2017.

Highlights (3.5/5 - Good):

• Cars 3
• Coco
• The Lego Batman Movie

Honorable Mention:

• The Boss Baby (3/5 - Decent)
• Ferdinand (3.25/5 - Solid)
• The Lego Ninjago Movie (3.25/5 - Solid)
• Loving Vincent (3/5 - Decent)

Best Screenplay

• Last Flag Flying - Richard Linklater and Darryl Ponicsan

Though a bit muddled in progression and tone, if not a touch too punchy at times, Richard Linklater's and Darryl Ponicsan's writing transcends the humble ensemble saga of "Last Flag Flying" with an organic blend of riotous farce and stellar, ever-layered banter to instill vibrant dynamics within and among riveting characters, whose surgical evolutions from there - through revealing introspection, provocative confrontation and seamless development - is never less than haunting.

Highlights:

• 120 BPM (Beats per Minute) - Robin Campillo and Philippe Mangeot
• Detroit - Mark Boal
• The Fortress - Hwang Dong-hyuk
• Molly's Game - Aaron Sorkin
• War for the Planet of the Apes - Mark Bomback and Matt Reeves

• Tumhari Sulu - Suresh Triveni
• The Young Karl Marx - Pascal Bonitzer and Raoul Peck

Best Supporting Actress

• Allison Janney as LaVona Fay Golden, in "I, Tonya"

Allison Janney certainly brings her trademark cynical charisma and pitch-perfect black comedy mastery to her interpretation of LaVona Fay Golden, yet somehow transforms as she portrays a demanding, dysfunctional mother with unyielding intensity and sly human complexity that steal the spotlight from both her "I, Tonya" co-stars and all other supporting actresses of 2017.

Highlights:

• Sajal Ali as Arya Sabarwal, in "Mom"

• Laurie Metcalf as Marion McPherson, in "Lady Bird"
• Hannah Murray as Julie Ann, in "Detroit"
• Michelle Pfeiffer as Caroline Hubbard, in "Murder on the Orient Express"

Best Supporting Actor

• Will Poulter as Philip Krauss, in "Detroit"

His titular accent flawless enough, Will Poulter is a titanic, haunting force who masterfully marries crooked command, bone-chilling complexity and soul-swallowing ferocity with a transformative enigma that has one wondering if the dirty cop/murderer Philip Krauss is a warped moralist, vicious racist or unrepentant psychopath, - if not all three - as well as a penetrating precision that amazes and chills every time Poulter blazes into "Detroit".

Highlights:

• Gabriel Byrne as Jim, in "Mad to Be Normal"

• Arnaud Valois as Nathan, in "120 BPM (Beats per Minute)"
• Kōji Yakusho as Takashi Misumi, in "The Third Murder"

Best Actress

• Jennifer Lawrence as mother, in "mother!"

Whatever the polarized opinions on the divisive "mother!", and the say of the mean-spirited bullies on the Razzies' board of governors, there's no denying the overwhelming power of Jennifer Lawrence, whose humbly graceful, sympathetically frail, heartbreakingly woeful and gut-twistingly intense personification of a ravaged world also shoulders an allegory as sobering as any screen performance of 2017.

Best Director

• Matt Reeves, for "War for the Planet of the Apes"

"War for the Planet of the Apes" decimates the barrier between popcorn and prestige cinema just on the direction of Matt Reeves, whose dazzling presentation of jaw-dropping production values and mind-blowing action offsets a somber, elegant sophistication in eclectic pacing and enveloping atmosphere, in a triumph of technical, visceral, emotional and artful mastery that is unlikely with just one of those disciplines practiced.

Highlights:

• Kathryn Bigelow, for "Detroit"
• Hwang Dong-hyuk, for "The Fortress"
• Denis Villeneuve, for "Blade Runner 2049"

Best Film

• War for the Planet of the Apes (4.5/5 - Great)

A hot-streak of enthralling but flawed strokes of blockbuster prestige, the landmark prequel trilogy of the already iconic "Planet of the Apes" franchise goes out with an arguably unqualified bang in "War for the Planet of the Apes", which is not simply a breathtaking epic of rich spectacle and high-stakes tension, but a truly triumphant war drama that manages to be as practically exemplary, philosophically stimulating, gracefully composed and emotionally satisfying as any other triumph in a fine year in cinema.

Highlights:

• 120 BPM (Beats per Minute) (4/5- Outstanding)
• Blade Runner 2049 (4/5 - Outstanding)
• Detroit (4.25/5 - Excellent)
• The Fortress (4/5 - Outstanding)
