This week on the InSession Film Podcast, we feature our 12th annual InSession Film Awards! During Part 1, we discuss the very best that 2024 had to offer in terms of surprises, overlooked movies, the best acting performances and so much more when it comes to the film year. Many of these categories will feel familiar, for those that follow awards season, however some of them are distinct and that’s what makes it fun.
Stay tuned for Part 2, where we discuss our Top 10 Movies of 2024.

2024 was a very unique year. It didn’t have a defining cultural event like Barbenheimer last year. It was mostly a disappointing year for Hollywood and the major studios, with a few exceptions aside. At times, things were so bleak at the box office that it seemed as if movies were over. Thankfully, we were able to hold off on the apocalypse. However; even with mainstream cinema having a down year, it was an incredibly robust year for animation, documentary, American indie and international film – which was dominant. 2024 will go down as the year of experimental and innovative filmmaking. With films such as Nickel Boys, The Brutalist, I Saw the TV Glow, All We Imagine As Light, Do Not Expect Too Much From the End of the World, The Substance, The People’s Joker and A Different Man, among many others, the ambition really stands out. Dune: Part Two and Furiosa are other great examples, but on a larger scale. Perhaps that will be what defines cinema in 2024 in time. It may be too early tell, but we’ll look back decades from now as some sort of paradigm shift in modern filmmaking. Either way, it was a memorable year and it was a great time talking about what made it weird and unique.
