Last year we held the first ever Essential Film Awards which you can find right HERE
The main criteria for each category was that each film has to have some sort of theatrical run in 2011. Last year we only announced winners. This year we are announcing the nominees today and we'll be announcing the winners at the end of the month. Who votes for these awards? Well, uh... me. Get over it.
