I'm a bit ashamed that I haven't yet done my due diligence in promoting the 3rd Annual Muriel Awards (Oscar's greatest rival), hosted by Paul Clark over at Silly Hats Only.The awards are handed out based on the tabulated votes of 37 Internet film luminaries, including yours truly (the only not-so-luminous member of the pack).
Categories range from the standard Best Picture and Best Director to Best Film-Related Website. As the above logo indicates, they're handed out over 17 days.
If your math was correct, you're right in realizing that 7 awards have already been handed out: "50th Anniversary for Best Film, 1958", "25th Anniversary for Best Film: 1983", "10th Anniversary for Best Film: 1998", "Best Film-Related Website, 2008", "Best Cinematic Breakthrough, 2008", and "Best Cinematography, 2008", to be exact.
But the Muriels are just heating up, with all the "major" categories left to be announced!
Last year, the Muriels were helped out big time by the plug of RogerEbert.com editor and new voter Jim Emerson. Let's work to make this year's awards even more widely circulated!
So what are you waiting for? Hop on over to Silly Hats Only now and get caught up on the winners so far!
