My choices are noted with a ★. Historical Oscar winners are noted with a ✔. A historical winner who won in a different category is noted with a ✱.

Ordinarily, I would have nominated Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away here — it was released in Japan in 2001 — but it won the Oscar for animated feature in 2002 and thus it feels like a 2002 movie to me. Come back next week to vote for it.
