9. "Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy" (directed by Ryûsuke Hamaguchi).
10. "Spencer" (directed by Pablo Larraín).
More from Manohla Dargis: “Bring Your Own Brigade” (a smart, cleareyed, solution-oriented documentary about the climate crisis that won’t leave you curled up in a ball sobbing); “Dune” (yeah, I know, but I dug this immersive big-screen spectacle, the sort Hollywood rarely produces today); “The Electrical Life of Louis Wain” (part of this year’s Benedict Cumberbatch wave and a must-see for animal lovers or, really, anyone with a beating heart); “Faya Dayi” (a gorgeous dream to slip into); “The First Wave” (a moving, intelligent, deeply human documentary on the pandemic); “In the Same Breath” (a tough, compassionate look at the pandemic via China); “Licorice Pizza” (especially the truck sequence — I could watch two hours of that amazingly directed, staged and choreographed camera-and-wheel work); “Prayers for the Stolen” (stirring and upsetting); “Preparations to Be Together for an Unknown Period of Time” (a gorgeous labyrinth); “Stillwater” (eh, it isn’t good but it brought me back into theaters); “The Truffle Hunters” (a touching lament for rapidly disappearing communities and traditions); “The Woman Who Ran” (elegant, wry, touching cinematic serialism).

I had to Google Justino Diaz. The others are all well known to me. Opera has never really been my thing, but as a Puerto Rican, he's an American and certainly deserving of the honor. I was honestly unaware the entire Trump Administration had passed without presidential participation in the honors. But kinda like the White House Correspondents Dinner, I guess. He didn't want to be anywhere where participants might make fun of him or have anything critical to say about him.
The 45th president's disenchantment with the annual ceremony began when 2017 honoree Norman Lear made noises about boycotting the induction. So there hadn't been a president in the presidential box between then and now.

Happy centennial birthday to Edna Mae Durbin (Deanna Durbin), born on December 4th, 1921 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada!
At the 11th Academy Awards ceremony held on February 23, 1939, Durbin and Mickey Rooney were presented Juvenile Oscars "for their significant contribution in bringing to the screen the spirit and personification of youth, and as juvenile players setting a high standard of ability and achievement." Durbin's miniature award was given to her by the actor/ventriloquist Edgar Bergen.

Wonder what an Irish #YorgosLanthimos film might be like? No? #NathaliBiacheri's #Wolf, which approaches species dysmorphia as a form of individualist defiance in a torture porn manner, shows us anyway. Alternately mesmerizing and ridiculous. #PaddyConsidine's a sadistic hoot.
-
#paolosorrentino's autobiographical #TheHandofGod piles up #Fellini-esque memories that are about equally freakish, erotic, tragic and soccer-obsessed. Some great moments and exchanges. Ultimately wears out its welcome. #Naples looks nice.
-
#Flee doesn't entirely succeed, but it often finds winning ways of wedding animation to documentary. The narrative of #AminNawabi's escape from #Afghanistan and efforts to feel at home in Europe gets, sometimes, terribly real and moving.
-
#TheScaryofSixtyFirst is a remarkably well-shot indie horror film built around the #JeffreyEpstein scandals. As much about the dangers of true crime obsession as it is the possessive spirits of abused girls. Very promising directing debut by #Succession actress #DashaNekrasova.
-
#PaulVerhoeven returns to lots of his favorite themes - naked women, subversive provocations, beautifully shot medieval ugliness - with #Benedetta. Serious issues of faith, hypocrisy and church politics are skimmed, but Paul's really just interested in nuns being naughty.

The award for Best Supporting Actor went to the onetime Australian child actor Kodi Smit-McPhee for “The Power of the Dog.” Now 25, he is the younger brother of the actress-singer Sianoa Smit-McPhee. Directed by Jane Campion ("The Piano"), "The Power of the Dog" features Smit-McPhee as Peter Gordon, a young man in 1925 Montana who becomes tormented by a wealthy rancher (Benedict Cumberbatch).
Best Supporting Actress honors went to the British stage actress and theater director Kathryn Hunter, who plays The Three Witches and another character in "Tragedy of MacBeth," director Joel Coen’s screen version of Shakespeare’s early 17th-century play. The 64-year-old actress -- whose real name is Aikaterini Hadjipateras -- was born in New York to Greek parents who eventually reared her in the United Kingdom.
