The Best Of 2020
With the year coming to end, there was only one thing to do: ask you about your absolute favourites of 2020! We called out for your best films, songs, albums and games and we had so many responses it had to come down to winners polls. And here are your top picks...
THE WINNER OF THE 2020 BEST FILM GOES TO…
Enola Holmes
Millie Bobby Brown, of Stranger Things fame, plays Sherlock Holmes’ teenage sister, Enola in this Netflix film. When Enola wakes to find her mother missing, she knows something strange is afoot. And it’s up to her to solve the mystery. Hijinks, conspiracies and danger ensues, as she - and her new friend Viscount Tewkesbury - try to set things right.
Honourable mentions include:
Black is King
The Social Dilemma
Mulan
BA-BA-DA-DAAAAA, BEST SONG OF THE YEAR IS AWARDED TO…
Watermelon Sugar by Harry Styles
Watermelon Sugar is the fourth single from Harry’s second album and was pretty much the soundtrack to most of lockdown (pt.1), summer and TikTok trends. It also became Harry’s first number one in the US, pretty much smashed the charts everywhere else too, and earned Harry a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Solo Performance!
Honourable mentions include:
Blinding Lights - The Weeknd
W.A.P. - Cardi B ft. Megan Thee Stallion
Black Dogs - Arlo Parks
AND BEST ALBUM BELONGS TO...
Future Nostalgia by Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa’s second album, Future Nostalgia, shot into the charts after its release in March of this year. The dance-electro-pop album took the number one spot in the charts here in the UK for four weeks, and held the same position in thirteen other countries! It was also nominated for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album at the Grammys. NME even said it is “a bright, bold collection of pop majesty to dance away your anxieties to… if only for a little while"
Honourable mentions include:
After Hours - The Weeknd
Plastic Hearts - Miley Cyrus
Big Conspiracy - J Hus
THE BEST TV SHOW OF 2020 IS…
The Umbrella Academy
This year, Netflix released the highly anticipated second season of The Umbrella Academy. The show centres around seven siblings, who all come together again after their father’s death. The only difference between these sibs and any others? Well, they all have special powers of course! And now that their father is out of the picture, it's up to them to save the world from a global apocalypse. Casual.
Honourable mentions include:
Warrior Nun
Locke and Key
Emily in Paris
AND FINALLY, THE BEST GAME OF THE YEAR GOES TO…
Among Us
Safe to say, multiplayer games have become even more popular this year because of lockdown. We’ve been able to connect without connecting in so many different ways. And Among Us quickly became one of the faves. Are you a crewmate or are you an imposter? Part escape room, part murder mystery, part truth and lies, this fun game will definitely have you trusting everyone and noone at the same time! #RedIsSus! Oh, and it’s all set in space so y’know, there’s that too…!
Honourable mentions include:
Call of Duty
Spiderman
Fifa 21
