The Craigy Decade Awards – Celebrating the best of Film (Part Two)

With the decade almost over, I have decided to form the ‘Craigy’ awards, which celebrate the best of film and television over the past ten years.

The big-screen is the centre of attention this time with films like Avengers: Endgame, The King’s Speech and Les Misérables amongst the major winners.

This second edition of the film awards recognises my favourite performances of the decade, as well as the best films of certain genres.

As previously mentioned in the TV articles, I have created a special drop-down option that enables readers to choose the category they want rather than scrolling down. With all said and done …
