COA blogs movie awards
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.

I haven't heard of most of these films, but now I have a good list of movies to watch this summer.
All films are reviewed in my blog and/or the blogs of Lucas and Ikarus so you can have an idea about them .
Jestem & Benny's gym are 2 of my top favourite films ;)
otherwise in short flim i like very much “James” from Connor Clements
by the way i've just found “Varde” on dvd ^_^
Yes I also own the DVD of ” Varde ” . Thank you for commenting ( and voting I suppose ) blueboy. I really liked the cinematography in Jestem and the story in Benny`s Gym – you can find more about that in their respective reviews on the blog. There you can also leave a comment with your take on them / or on my reviews ( :
