Cinema Analytica’s 2022 Movie/Streaming Awards

2022 was interesting year for the industry recovering from the pandemic. We can can now enjoy movies the way they were meant to seen on the big screen. 2022 was also the year where comic movies are either being constantly rebooted or not earning the same fan and critical reception as in previous years. Granted there were some hits such as the Batman and Moonknight but other shows and movies/shows didn’t quite hit the mark. James Gun taking over DC studios is surely to be an intriguing time for comic movies going forward.

 
The Oscars are no longer an accurate representation of popular culture. Humanity needs more awards to accurately reflect what people actually like to watch. Every year at Oscar time, we post our own movie awards from the year before (we still need time to see every movie from 2023 before we can choose winners). We expanded to include streaming shows (specifically Marvel and Star Wars) in 2020 because there wasn’t enough movies to fill the categories, and will continue doing so. Unfortunately we can’t see everything because we don’t subscribe to every service.
 
So here are the Cinema Analytica 2022 Movie/Streaming Awards!
