Hello readers. Can you believe we're halfway through 2023? We feel like it's barely started (probably because we live by such an Oscar season calendar) but it's already time to assess the first half of 2023's cinematic output. A few members of The Film Experience belong to The Hollywood Critics Association. The HCA does a midseason awards in several categories and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse was the big winner taking three prizes. The nominees and winners are after the jump with a few comments. That said, I won't comment too very much right now since my own "halfway mark" articles are coming next weekend (trying to cram in 10 more movies - yikes), so the opinions can wait for that...
