Random Musings of the Month
Well, this month was all about
Cannes, and though I had tons of fun covering it from afar, it's not so easy syncing your schedule with an event happening nine timezones away. A few too many late nights and early mornings caught up with me in the end and I needed a few days to recharge my movie brain; but now I'm ready to get back to my regular program again with the usual mix of old and new titles to watch and review for June.
Speaking of Cannes, it seems my dedicated film festival coverage hasn't gone unnoticed because when the
2012 Lammy Nominations were announced the other day, I was pleasantly surprised to see my name listed amongst the nominees for
Best Festival & Awards Coverage.
Now I don't have any illusions about actually winning it, not against the incomparably thorough and devoted job that
Never Too Early Movie Predictions does covering the Oscars, or the immensely entertaining Annual Awards Nerdism at
Cinematic Paradox. Perhaps if the category was split up I might have a chance, but even then
The Matinee and
Big Thoughts from a Small Mind each have a longstanding record of impressive high quality festival coverage as well.
Still it is very nice to get some recognition and it is an honor just to be considered, so I would like to give a massive
thank you to everyone who put my name on their ballots; and also a hearty congratulations to all the other
#Lammy2012 nominees.
