Good evening, and happy new year!
As on every new year's eve, I will be making a thread of the best films I've seen for the first time this year
It's mainly for own enjoyment in posterity, but it also operates as a recommendation list.
So, here follows: the Sixth Annual Tricky Hippo Film Awards!

They should do an all-Black series of #TheTraitors so we can find out what happens when there isn't the factor of racism involved

The good thing about #Strictly is that even though the British public is racist and sexist throughout the run, they usually have the sense to choose the right winner when it comes down to the final

Karen Carney will be such a worthy winner of #Strictly, although it is a shame that across her three dances tonight she hasn't shown how fantastic she is at the slow dances - she can do both fast and slow so well, as we have seen over the weeks, but tonight has all been fast.

Really troubling and horrible seeing so many nasty, mean-spirited posts about Amber on #Strictly which ascribe bad faith motivations onto her even when she is fulfilling the precise role of a deferant, caring "good loser".
This type of bile is just petty and harmful.

Extremely classy of Amber to tell the audience to vote for the others. She's right, of course, but it's such decorum and showmanship. She's the real deal, I think. #Strictly

Craig Revel Horwood is the unsung hero of #Strictly
He keeps it grounded, avoids grading on a curve, and tonight he's here to keep us on the straight and narrow to make sure we don't forget to keep our heads and vote for Karen Carney

See? SEE!?!?!? I said so!!!!

(Another thing is that many of his dances seem more about showing Alexis's talent than his own, which in a devised showcase like this is beyond baffling)

I think a major factor in George getting so far in #Strictly despite not being especially talented, interesting or charismatic is because he has disproportionately been given high-charting hit songs to dance to
Almost every week he's had a really popular song, by someone like Queen or Harry Styles

Amber and Karen would both be such worthy winners of #Strictly
They're both so talented, and have come a long way - and they really *care* about it

Amber Davis is so COOL
#Strictly is very fortunate to have her because she's consistently bringing some of the highest quality, most dynamic and dramatic dance to BBC One primetime

If George wins #Strictly tonight, I am going to throw hands
I have been baffled and frustrated each successive week to see the British public choose a generic, slightly hapless and disinterested white man over a talented Black woman

Seeing that the Girlguides have chosen to ban trans members had made my heart drop out of my stomach. It's so horrible and demoralising to live in a country that wants to harm and exclude and marginalise people, to wind human rights backwards, and to spread misery.

Genuinely wild to see Balvinder break the record for most #Strictly dance-offs survived
She'll be back in the dance-off next week irrespective of how well she does and we'll see her in the record-breaking sixth dance off

Gonna be absolutely devastating if Alex Kingston goes out of #Strictly because they gave a song without lyrics to someone with dyscalculia
Feels like a failure to make reasonable adjustments to me.
