2021 InSession Film Awards – Staff Picks

This week on the InSession Film Podcast, we feature our 9th annual InSession Film Awards! This year, we did something a little bit different. We asked all of staff writers to be involved in the nomination and award process. The writers initially nominated over 70 movies just for Best Picture! We love to have the variety of opinions that we do here at Insession Film. But, sadly, we had to narrow it down further. We came up with 5 nominations (6 in Best Director due to a tie!) in all categories besides Best Picture. In order to provide a lot of options, we gave them 20 choices for Best Picture (take that, Academy!),  Stay tuned to the show and the site for the announcement of the winners!

 

Without further ado, here are the nominations for the Insession Film Awards as picked by our writers and staff!
