COA blogs movie awards

Submitted by skykid on Tuesday, 17 March 2009View Comments

We – myself, Ikarus and Lucas decided to start an a new experiment – and offer own own awards. The common theme of our blogs is the coming of age focus – which is why we decided to call the awards : COA Blogs movie awards. For the first issue there will be only few categories:

  • Special Soundtrack award
  • Best cinematography award
  • Best acting award
  • Coming Of Age Value award
  • Best short film award

Each of us will nominate movies , directors and actors that appeared on his blog. Therefore I would like to share with you my nominations so far. If you want to support a nomination of mine or add your own suggestion feel free to leave me a comment with the details. The only rule is that since you are reading this on my blog the movies must have their entries in it – and if you like most a movie from the blog of Ikarus or Lucas – you can go ahead and nominate it at their sites. At the end of course all nominations will be carefully analyzed , merget and voted on by us and every one of you who wish to participate.

If you have a blog that focus on coming of age movies – feel free to join our initiative.
