Beachhouse Awards 2013 by the numbers

Overall, 59 films received at least 1 nod from me this year. Many made it to the Oscars, and many were left in the dust as well. Overall, just like at the Oscars, 12 Years a Slave and Gravity dominated my nominations, with 12 and 11, respectively. They were followed by Captain Phillips with 9, American Hustle & The Hobbit with 7, and Rush with 6 (which I'm still surprised got no nominations from the Academy!). A lot of smaller films really grabbed my attention and surprised me this year. I think this just may be the strongest crop of breakthrough filmmaker/performance/overlooked films since I added those categories a couple years ago.
