Vote In The 1st 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.
