Netflix led studios with two movies making the list — Bradley Cooper’s Leonard Bernstein biopic “Maestro” and Todd Haynes’ black comedy “May December.” With an eclectic mix of critically acclaimed and consumer friendly titles, the list of top movies also includes films by newcomers (Cord Jefferson’s “American Fiction” and Celine Song’s “Past Lives”), veterans (Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” and Alexander Payne’s “The Holdovers”) and stylish visionaries (Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” and Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers and Justin K.

Deadline’s Read the Screenplay series spotlighting the year’s most talked-about scripts continues with the Todd Haynes-directed May December starring Julianne Moore, Natalie Portman and Charles Melton.

Greta Gerwig hit box office gold with Barbie, the film starring Margot Robbie as the titular character and Ryan Gosling as Ken.

In addition to starring as the lead Barbie in the massive blockbuster “Barbie,” Margot Robbie is also a producer on the film. This meant, way before Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach were attached, Robbie was out there trying to find a home for this film, as well as trying to find the right storytellers to bring it to life.

In a film about feminism and overall female empowerment, such as “Barbie,” it can’t feel good to have one joke aimed directly at you, seemingly used to sum up the current male-driven toxic fandom in film. Alas, that’s exactly what happened to Zack Snyder, who is mentioned in “Barbie” as a joke about Writer Barbie waking up from her misogynistic state.

In what is an annual tradition, A24 led all nominations at this morning’s 39th Film Independent Spirit Awards Nominations with 11 nods while their movie Past Lives, along with Netflix’s May December and Amazon MGM’s American Fiction all tied for the most nominations with five apiece.

Margot Robbie has denied any chances of a potential Barbie sequel.Rumours of a Barbie sequel were first sparked when Robbie gave an interview to TIME, saying she’d been involved in conversations around a potential follow-up film. “It could go a million different directions from this point,” she said at the time.

In a year when Marvel movies are bombing, one that made a billion its first time out of the gate, and the theatrical business feels more vulnerable than ever, an outlier like “Barbie” really lifted the movie industry’s spirits this year. Both “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” ruled the summer of 2023 (over blockbusters like “The Flash,” “Mission Impossible 7” and “The Little Mermaid”) and, of course, merged to make the theatrical phenomenon of #BarbieHeimmer.

May December, the title of Todd Haynes’s latest drama, reflects the director’s dance card for the year: having opened in Cannes, the Netflix title has been a festival favorite ever since, and will likely hang in there until voting closes after Christmas.
