6th Annual Chrisfilm Awards (2015)

Posted in Chrisfilm Awards on February 22, 2015 by chrisfilm

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted here, but for a day at least, I’m back. I still don’t think I’m ready to write about every movie I see as I see them, but I at least want to share my favorites of 2014 and continue the tradition of the Chrisfilm Awards.

Every year, to celebrate the Academy Awards, I come up with my personal list of nominations and winners. As per usual, my awards look a lot different than the Oscar nominations, but hopefully this will give my readers an idea of some other quality movies from 2014 that the Academy did not mention. I only saw 3 out of the 8 Oscar Best Picture nominees though, in case you are looking for a point of reference to how ‘in the loop’ I am. Hope you enjoy!

And so begins the 6th Annual Chrisfilm Awards.

2nd Annual Chrisfilm Awards (2011)

Posted in Chrisfilm Awards on February 24, 2011 by chrisfilm

Every year, to celebrate the Academy Awards, I come up with my personal list of nominations and winners. Last year, I felt a lot of disgust with the nominations and winners, but I was pleasantly surprised this year. So I consider this year’s awards a companion piece to the actual nominations.

And so begins the 2nd Annual Chrisfilm Awards.
