Re: Awards for 2022 movies
The Best Actor call was quite difficult for me so I watched The Whale and The Banshees of Inisherin for a second time, back-to-back. Fraser is better in the first half of his film with a more subtle and nuanced performance but it is usually the ending of films that sways the vote with most people. Seeing the films back-to-back for a second time helped me to weigh things in their entirety. It was still a close call.
That said, the Feinberg for the 2022 Best Actor Award goes to ...

Re: Awards for 2022 movies
Of the films you mention in your posts, I still have not seen:
Close
The Whale
The Son
A Man Called Otto
Luckiest Girl Alive
The Sparring Partner*
Nostalgia*
Babylon
Sick of Myself*
Boys from Heaven
Holy Spider
The ones with a * beside them were not even on my radar until now.
I also enjoyed Amsterdam despite it being one of the most critically reviled movies of the year.
There seemed to be a lot of disappointments for me this year, movie wise. Several I had anticipated turned out to be duds (like Bardo), and even more so, there were films that garnered a lot of critical applause or good word-of-mouth, that I found lacking (like Everything Everywhere All at Once, RRR, and Barbarian).
Watching until the end.
