I’ve been trying to keep yearly rankings for the past couple of years but it always gets dicey around the end of the year and awards season. Do you extend your 2024 rankings into Jan or even Feb because some of those releases are in contention for 2024 awards? Do you simply match the Oscar eligibility window? What does that mean for other Jan/Feb (dumpuary) releases that were never meant to compete? What about films that debuted at festivals in prior years?

Example: I saw Zone of Interest on Feb 2, 2024. I believe it had a limited release in December 2023 but it didn’t go wide until later. It certainly feels wrong to rank it on my 2024 list.
