Maxwell Nominees, Pt. 5: The Golden Maxwells (Movies)

I'm Back

Well, I said there would be gaps of inactivity, and six months counts as a gap, but I'm back now. Tomorrow evening, I will be posting the nominees for the 2010 Maxwell Film Awards, because I have better taste than AMPAS. Going forward, I will do my best to post something at least once every two weeks, even if it's just a collection of links.

It's good to be back.
