    V for Vendetta -
    this is the best monologue
    “Voila! In view humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate.
    This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the “vox populi” now vacant, vanished.
    However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin, van guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
    The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
    Verily this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add
    that it’s my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V.”

The one genre they mostly do ignore though is horror, and well the Lighthouse is technically a horror film. Because 100% I believe Willem Dafoe should've been nominated, he arguably had the best performance of 2019.

    Just to be clear about Django Unchained, DiCaprio did cut his hand open when he slammed the table with a fork, but they stopped the scene after his line was over, and they wrapped his hand in bandages, which you see later on. The blood on his hand when he's holding Brunhilda's face is fake, because they thought it would be really good to just play with the fact that he stabbed himself. Beyond the fact that both he and Tarantino have taljed about this in interviews, if that were his real blood that he actually smeared on her face, that would be a literal felony.

    You need to write these titles better. It is one monologue per year, not the best 22 monologues of every year… that would be 484 entries.

    Why does Mojo never really acknowledge women? This is def not the first time one needs a microscope to find the women on their lists..

    Christoph Waltz is comically bad in the comically bad "Inglourious Basterds". He's what, 5ft tall and 80 pounds soaking wet, yet the burly Farmer doesn't snap his neck the moment their alone and eventually Landa strangles Diane Kruger with his bare hands. Yeah right. She would've just stood up and worn Christoph Waltz as a necklace.

      Presence. All you need is presence.
