Last year, we decided that our voices needed to be heard. Among all the award shows and critic’s groups, it seemed like they never got things quite right – so we decided to take our own stab at it. Last year’s best picture nominees included Oscar nominees like Midnight in Paris and The Ides of March, with favorites like Drive (last year’s big winner), Melancholia and Take Shelter, to create a hybrid awards that mixed critical adoration and fan admiration.
Since the first year was a success, we brought it back for 2012. We increased the voting pool and even changed around some categories. So without further ado, here are the nominations that you came up with for the 2nd Annual Flickcharters’ Choice Awards!
Every year around this time, awards are given to the greatest in films, yet they always disappoint. The Oscars mostly avoid the mainstream, Golden Globes’ choices are a bit unexpected, and the Critics’ Choice Awards… where to even begin?
This year though, Flickchart decided to create their own awards for you – the Flickchart audience. We let the Flickchart blogging staff vote in twenty different categories. The five nominees in each category with the highest total of votes became the nominees in each of the categories. Now that the nominees have been chosen, it is up to you to decide who the winners are. Read the rest of this entry »
