That’s right, friends and foes, we are back at it and ready to crown the best in film from 2019.

The past twelve months have been filled with cinematic delights and disasters in equal measure, but we are at Dim the House Lights would be remiss if we didn’t take the time to celebrate our faves. The ballots are in, the numbers have been crunched, and the results of our weird little survey are below.

This year, DtHL decided to combine the four Lead and Supporting acting categories into two giant gender-neutral mega-categories, one for Lead Performance and one for Supporting Performance. So along with Best Film, the Best Lead Performance and Best Supporting Performance categories can have up to 10 nominees. As with previous years, a nominee has to be on two ballots to get a nomination.

Enough with the front matter! Here are the nominees and winners of the 2020 Golden Bulb Awards!
