The 2016 movie musical “La La Land” earned the most nominations at the Gold Derby Decade Awards honoring the best films from 2010 to 2019, but “Mad Max: Fury Road” (2015), “Parasite” (2019) and “Inception” (2010) weren’t too far behind. Scroll down to see the entire list of contenders, which were voted on by more than 2,200 registered Gold Derby users. And you can vote for the winners starting right now here in our predictions center. You can keep filling out or editing your ballot as often as you like until voting closes on Friday night, March 6.
“La La Land” leads with 12 nominations including Best Picture of the Decade. That’s fitting when you consider that in our yearly awards it won 9 times out of 16 nominations, both of which are all-time records at the Gold Derby Awards. “Mad Max” follows with nine Decade Award nominations, then “Parasite” with eight and “Inception” with seven. The six films that round out the Best Picture race span the decade: “The Social Network” (2010), “Boyhood” and “Whiplash” (2014), “Moonlight” (2016), and “Call Me by Your Name” and “Get Out” (2017).
We’ve also nominated 10 actors for Performer of the Decade for their cumulative achievements over the last 10 years: Amy Adams (also nominated for Best Actress for “Arrival”), Christian Bale (also Best Supporting Actor for “The Fighter”), Bradley Cooper (also Best Actor for “A Star is Born”), Viola Davis (also Best Supporting Actress for “Fences”), Leonardo DiCaprio (also Best Actor for “The Wolf of Wall Street”), Adam Driver (also Best Actor for “Marriage Story”), Jennifer Lawrence, Joaquin Phoenix (also Best Actor for both “Joker” and “The Master”), Saoirse Ronan and Emma Stone (also Best Actress for “La La Land”).
Many actors were eligible for numerous films over the decade, but only two were nominated twice for their individual performances: Phoenix with his dual Best Actor bids and Lupita Nyong’o, who is up for Best Actress (“Us”) and Best Supporting Actress (“12 Years a Slave”) — it’s eerily appropriate that she’s doubly nominated since her bid for “Us” is itself for dual roles. The original ballots featured over 1,400 contenders. Any person or film nominated at the Oscars or Gold Derby Awards were eligible for this original round of nominations.
