The Viewies 2022

I mentioned last year about my plans for an awards ceremony. Unfortunately, that was canceled because:

  • The pandemic meant I couldn't book a venue
  • I hardly saw any new movies
  • We couldn't secure any movie people to come
  • No one cared
  • I forgot about it
So this year, the ceremony is canceled again; but this time the awards are going to be awarded on the blog. Here are this year's nominees, this time including some conventional awards as well:

2023 Quiz Rules

 Thanks, everyone, for signing up for the quiz! This year we have more teams than ever before, so competition will be fierce! To remind you all, the theme is Posters, meaning that I will give a brief description of a Christmas Movie poster and you have to guess which movie the poster refers to. In your signup automated reply, you should have received the following clue, worth 50 points: A man in a red cardigan looks at the camera in distress. He is surrounded by children dressed as biblical characters. Most people correctly guessed that this was 2009’s Nativity : This is the only occasion the actual poster will be included; if you want to check the accuracy of my descriptions for later entries, you will have to Google them yourselves. I will now reiterate the rules:   At 11:00 GMT every weekday AND Saturday (sorry; I forgot that I also created clues for Saturdays – blame me for writing the quiz in April) until 25 December, the clue will be emailed to you. You then have
