I've really slacked in getting my favorites out there for the past few years, so this year I was determined to get them in. I'm pulling it in just under the wire. The Oscars start in minutes. These are my favorite movies, albums, and soundtracks for the year of 2024. They aren't presented in any particular order. There are ten in each category and there were many others of each category that I loved, but didn't make the cut this time. It could always change tomorrow.
