Awards season is finally upon us. As we prepare for ceremonies like the Golden Globes and the Oscars, it’s time to catch up on the acclaimed films that will likely be nominated.

Though there are many accolades to be won, Yahoo Entertainment narrowed down a list of the films that have earned praise for acting, directing and overall production.
