FiF:
I have modest expectations for this enterprise and thus, so should you. FiF is more a personal endeavour than anything else. Please note that this blog is NOT a career but just a hobby. Hopefully, as FiF grows, so will this list:
- Awards coverage: A sorry attempt to read the Oscar tea leaves. Updates and commentary will be provided regularly during the year leading up to awards season.
- Film in Focus Awards (FiFA): prizes for the best films watched by Kevin and yours truly during the year. Categories considered are (subject to change):
- Best Picture
- Best Director
- Best Actor
- Best Actress
- Best Supporting Actor
- Best Supporting Actress
- Best Ensemble Cast
- Best Original Screenplay
- Best Adapted Screenplay
- Best Cinematography
- Best Costume Design
- Best Art Direction
- Best Film Editing
- Best Original Score
- Best Music
- Best Make Up
Being unemployed, we simply don’t have the finances to watch all the theatrical releases in cinemas. For fairness’ sake, we’ve made our own awards defiantly singular, combining cinema of different calendar years which results in an eclectic mix of films being represented. Every film watched during the year will be added to the “FIFA Scene & Screened” log in the sidebar and is thus eligible for a FiFA in all categories. Nominees and winners will be announced at the end of December.
