With the year coming to an end, let's discuss the best (and also some of the worst) in entertainment this year's thread. This was a weak year for films once again for most of the year (granted I didn't see most of the awards contenders), TV had it's highs but it was a down year from 2022 imo, and the video game industry continued to dominate as next gen games finally arrived all year. We probably also can't mention 2023 without mention things that dominated the year like The Eras Tour, Labor Union Strikes, or Next-Gen Gaming (and the GTA6 trailer release). There's no set number that has to be per category as this will depend on your preference or how much you consumed. I'll start us out.
