Movies: 2012 Awards

2012 LLL Films Awards

As I am a big fan of film, each year I am interested by the Academy Awards.  And, like most other people, I am usually disappointed by the films/actors that do/do not win.  So, since I have my own blog, why not make my own awards?  But rather than pick all the winners myself, I though that it would be fun to provide a list of nominees from films that I have seen - then let you, the reader, vote for your favorites.  At some point in the future (one week? two weeks? depends on how many responses I get), I will reveal the winners of the... well, if you have a good idea for what I could call the awards, let me know!

Before I reveal my nominees, here are the rules:  of course, please select one nominee from each category.  IN ADDITION:  if there is another, unlisted choice in the category that you like as much or better than the one you voted for, please let me know that as well.  If you wish to make any comments about your choices as well, feel free.  In order to vote, simply leave a comment at the end of the page.  Have fun!
