The Silver Graggers are different from the Golden Globes and the Oscars in that there are multiple winners for Best Picture, the only award we give.
This year the Kustanowitz kids have been hard at work, deliberating which films released in 2017 merited consideration for this prestigious award. Today we are announcing the winners of the annual competition. Here are the best films of 2017, with a brief description of each one.
