The Lammy Awards
It is that time of year again where the spotlight is on the movie blogging world. LAMMY awards season has kicked off, the list of submitted blogs has been published and voting for the nominees has started. Last year I participated for the first time and was runner up in the “Best Blog-a-thon/Meme” category and I hope I’ll have a chance to that title this year.
My Filmviews (LAMB #790) has been submitted in the following categories:
Best Blog-a-thon/Meme – MOVIE CONFESSIONS
This was my most successfull Blog-a-thon I’ve done, with close to 80 blogs participating. It’s a number I never anticipated and I thank all those blogs who took part. It shows how awesome the blogging community can be and how many people were willing to confess to their movie sins.
Best Blog-a-thon/Meme – MOVIE JAIL RELAY RACE
Although I’m running this Blog-a-thon it was Terrence from The Focused Filmographer who came up with this idea. He deserves as much, if not more, credit for this one. The idea behind this one is to put actors/actresses and directors in Movie Jail for crimes against cinema.
Best Running Feature – THE MANY FACES OF…
Recently did the 75th installment of this weekly series in which I take a look at the career of an actor or actress. You can find all installments by clicking here.
Best Running Feature – THE MONDAY QUESTION
Since blogging shouldn’t only be about writing something, I decided to start this weekly series a long time ago. Each week I try to come up with an interesting question which will get people thinking, which always leads to some interesting thoughts/experiences etc.
Best Community Builder – Nostra
I am very flattered to have been submitted for this award. I’ve been doing the Moviesite Spotlights for a while to help others discover other awesome blogs (which is also one of the goals of the Blog-a-thons) and help where I can. The submission text meant a lot to me:
Nostraβs Blogging Tips section alone makes him a serious candidate for this award. He is also a frequent commenter on other blogs than his own and helps spread a lot of LAMB links through twitter.
First of all I would like to thank everyone who submitted me for these categories, it really means a lot to me and shows how much you appreciate the work I put into the blog. I hope you’ll consider My Filmviews in the various categories I’ve been sumitted to and wish everyone who is participating good luck.
Definitely getting some votes from me!
