The Autumn months are usually the prep months for the annual Beerbohm Awards. I spend some time viewing reviewing potential nominees for the various categories.
In the Autumn months of 2013, there were no reviews, though I was dragged by the wife to see a half dozen movies and, of course, Canadian, American and U.K. Netflix continue to provide non-reviewed entertainment.
What can I say... life sometimes gets in the way of more selfish pursuits. I guess that's the way it should be.
That said, the 2014 Beerbohm Awards will be slightly different from the previous two years. While I do review trailers of films that are nominated for Oscars, this year's Beerbohm Awards will follow the Oscar format for only the following categories (sorry fans, both of you):
Best Picture Trailer
Best Actor in a Trailer
Best Actress in a Trailer
Best Supporting Actor in a Trailer
Best Supporting Actress in a Trailer
If I receive submissions (so please send links to your trailers either email or twitter @beerbohmtastic) I will try to include:
Best Independent Film Trailer
Best Documentary Trailer.
Next year I hope to return to the previous year's format - unless this format is preferred...
More details below the impressive hardware...
As always, your nominations before January 31, 2013 are welcome.
Either comment on the blog, tweet @Beerbohmtastic or email your nominations to beerbohmtastic@gmail.com.
Thank you for reading and following and sending stuff and for loving movies (and trailers) as much as I do.

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.
