Bonus Post: The 2023 Atlantic Mini Oscars Gimmick Appreciation Thread (with answer key)

On Sunday, March 12, The Atlantic ran a puzzle by Caleb Madison which had a dare for the solver at 17-Across: [With 35-Across, group of 10 movies hidden in the previous week of Atlantic minis, two in each puzzle. Can you find them all?]

It's a pretty fun scavenger hunt for a puzzle, one that (owing to the lack of an easy archive for Atlantic puzzles) probably won't have the permanence it deserves. So I'm making this post which easily links to the week of minis in question, so you the solver can play along if you wish to do so.

Monday, March 6 - Tuesday, March 7 - Wednesday, March 8 - Thursday, March 9 - Friday, March 10

If you're stuck on remembering the ten films that were nominated this year, Wikipedia's got your back. (Hey, don't sweat it - I forgot that Elvis was nominated this year, and I *watched* Elvis. Unfortunately.) And if you're really, really stuck beyond that, and just want to appreciate Paolo's subtle (and not-so-subtle) constructions, I'm having this post double as an answer key. Scroll way, way down, below the poster below, if you want confirmation of the answers.

Crossworld Monthly Roundup, February 2023

It's the shortest month of the year, and thus I have an atypically short write-up. I didn't even bother changing the text on the photoshop for this post! (Don't tut-tut me, who do I look like, Kelsey??)
