Hollmann Awards

For the past two years over on my livejournal, I've been hosting the Hollmann Awards, a creatively-named testament to my superior film knowledge. Nominees are announced the day before the Oscar nominees are, and the awards are also given the day before their ceremony.

The Hollmann Awards started in 2006, and I greatly regret not doing them in 2005. However, here's a quick run-down of the history of the Hollmann Awards.'
