Awards Announcement

Hey Kids,

It's that time of year again... well, for the first time. We're having the soon to be titled annual Kochems-Kamo Film Awards. And trust me, it'll be prestigious...

This year will consist of five categories and the breakdown is mentioned below. Each category will have five films nominated for it, which we'll post up in the next few days as well as a list of most of the films of 2010. If we've missed any that you think we should consider, by all means let us know.

While the categories will be posted within the next week or so, the official nominations can't be posted until December 26th since there is at least one film that will not be released until that late in the year that both Mike and I have high hopes for. However, we will be speculating and looking forward to input and opinions on the categories and their speculated nominees. Once we've released the official list of nominations for each category, they won't be changed so get your opinions in early (starting here?).

The categories this year aren't yet decided, but we have a lay out prepared for them. Mike and I will both select two categories that we feel best represent our overall reception of the films of this year. We both will get to each nominate three films for our own category and an additional nomination will be from whomever has not created the category. A fifth nomination will also be chosen by our loyal readers. This will let us get a broader opinion on each category. Both Mike and I will be watch the two other nominees suggested, then collaborate on those four categories.

Best Film will be much more difficult, however. Mike and I will both nominate two films and then take an additional one from you, the people. Then, we will have six votes taken on what should win. Two voters will obviously be Mike and I. The other four will include two from reputable and respected viewers of film, whether it be writers or critics or other bloggers, and the other two will be chosen at random from the general public. This will help get a critical eye as well as a common man's decision on what should win best film. It will probably also make Mike and I irate if either of our films end up losing, but that's the game.

Let us know your thoughts and if you have any suggestions to go with this idea!
