AND THE WINNER IS:


MOONLIGHT

It's not really surprising at this point for me to reward Moonlight with yet another award (it's sixth so far). The ensemble is while not a traditional ensemble winner with me is in no question an example of brillant ensemble casting. Sure there aren't many scenes featuring large casts of characters acting across from one another I appreciate this film for it's multiple casting's of the same characters over 3 particular chapters of the same characters life. The greatest casting achievement is the three actors cast to play Chiron. Neither actor saw their predescors act and their performances all play into one another it's quite an achievement that a fact like this is treated as an afterthought reflection rather then something the film feels the need to call out before watching the film.
