And the Nominees for the 2nd Annual Beerbohm Awards are...

In the spirit of this blog, welcome to the 2nd Annual Beerbohm Awards: in recognition of movie trailers. Please note that the Beerbohms are awarded only to movie trailers that I've seen since last years' Beerbohms and are not an award for the actual movie. The Oscars are for that...

For 2013, I've dropped the Best Music in a trailer award because not much jumped out at me this year.  I've also dropped worst spoiler trailer because there were just too many.  Worst Trailer now covers that.  Instead I've added two new categories:  Best Independent Trailer and Best Documentary Trailer.  All you independent film makers, please keep sending me your trailers, I really enjoy them.

So, without further doo-doo....

Here are your nominees for the 2nd Annual Beerbohm Awards for Movie Trailers:

BEST DOCUMENTARY

The Best Documentary Award is given to the documentary trailer that stirred thought and emotion while generating interest.

The nominees for Best Documentary Trailer are:

Wilmington on Fire

BEST INDEPENDENT TRAILER

The Best Independent Trailer Award is given to the independent trailer that stood out as original, or refreshing, or interesting (to me).  There were many very good candidates for this award, but these four were stand-outs.
