Vote Now For The 7th Annual Flickcharters’ Choice Awards!
For the seventh year, members of the “Flickcharters” discussion group on Facebook have submitted ballots in a number of categories to create our own awards: The Flickcharters’ Choice Awards. In the past, Drive, Django Unchained, Gravity, Guardians of the Galaxy, Mad Max: Fury Road, and La La Land have taken our top honors for Best Picture. As you can see from that selection, The Flickcharters’ Choice Awards are a mixture of critically-beloved films and crowd-pleasers that are typically overlooked for other end-of-the-year awards.
After collecting ballots throughout January, we present to you the nominees for the 7th Annual Flickcharters’ Choice Awards!
