The Academy has narrowed down the eligible scores for this year’s Best Original Score Oscar to 112.

Although it has yet to unspool except for a handful of Hollywood and press screenings, Star Wars: The Force Awakens earns a spot on the annual list of the best American films. If you don’t see your favorite film on the list, remember that these are American films only. That means no Brooklyn or 45…

Perhaps outgrossing all other films in release this weekend, the rebirth of the Star Wars franchise begins here. Will it end here? A disappointing box office or disappointed fans will point one way, “all is forgiven” shouts will push it in the other direction. Our Highest Rated Films: Son of Saul, Star Wars: The Force…
