The #GoldenGlobes have awarded Best Motion Picture to the equivalent Best Picture Oscar winner only 8 times in the last 21 years, and remember they hand out 2 such awards.

As someone who is perceived as being Good With Computers it often falls to me to scan and collate photos for the purposes of a funeral slideshow.
Google Photo Scan is the most helpful app for this purpose and it hasn't been updated since June 2023 and I figure it's functionally EOL. 😢

My top four films I saw in cinemas last year, in no order
1) Prime Minister
2) The Salt Path
3) A Minecraft Movie
4) Superman
They are also the only films I saw at the cinema so they are the worst films I saw as well.
