* I listed Jennifer Jason Leigh correctly in the lead actress category (as per my own choice on the topbar posted weeks ago), but this was amended in the post by someone between scheduling and posting. All I can say is it’s extremely disappointing.
** Alan Menken was not listed as The Little Mermaid is to all intents and purposes a musical and the score consists entirely of songs. I have gone through this argument before.
Thank God the 1980s are over, even if in 1995 His Satanic Majesty will return with another year of unmitigated excrement.
