In the spirit of this blog, I introduce you to The Beerbohm Awards: in recognition of movie trailers. Please note that the Beerbohms are awarded only to movie trailers that I've seen since starting this blog in August 2011 and are not an award for the actual movie. The Oscars are for that...
The categories for the Inaugural Beerbohm Awards are:
Best Trailer
Worst Trailer
Best Music in a Trailer
Best One-Liner in a Trailer
Worst Spoiler Trailer
Most Misleading Trailer
The Nominees will be released on Sunday, February 18th. Nominations from readers are welcome. Either comment on the blog or email your nominations to beerbohmtastic@gmail.com.
Stay tuned...
This blog was inspired by Max Beerbohm (August 24, 1872 – May 20, 1956) an English essayist, parodist, critic and caricaturist. He was once asked how he wrote his book reviews. He answered, "I look at the book, write the review and, if I like the review, I'll read the book." I sort of apply Max's approach to movies. Kind of like judging a book by its cover... only judging a movie by its trailer.

I like the comments above. I'll be waiting with baited breath to see the nominees. I'd recommend some, but the last trailer I saw since the 90s was parked on my neighbour's driveway.
ReplyDeleteHi Neighbour!
