The FilmPhonic Awards 2014

Spread the love

Following a great year of films in 2014 we thought it would be good to recognize some of the achievements in movie-making with our own awards.

Note: We have decided to include only films from after the 2014 Academy Awards in early March since most of those films were released in 2013 in the UK and all in 2013 in the US, nor will we include a bunch of films that are due for release in the UK in 2015 but late 2014 in the US and will be strong Oscar contenders next year.

Now we don’t normally like to declare any film better than any other as that is of course a purely subjective exercise, but we thought we’d get into the Hollywood spirit for once so here goes….

Congratulations to all the films and people featured here and the ones that weren’t for all their achievements in 2014, there will be several films like Birdman and Foxcatcher that are released in the UK in early 2015 and will be strong contenders in the official awards season next year but let’s see how those selections compare to ours.

Let us know what you think and have a merry Christmas, a happy holiday season and a prosperous new year.
