The 3rd OurMovieLife Awards

We disagree with award shows a lot; and if they knew of us, we bet they’d disagree with us, too.

Film quality is widely subjective and personal. What we like others don’t — and vice versa. So we no longer do these awards out of spite, or a way to give the finger to The Man; now, we do it out of tradition. It’s become a ritual of sorts, a way to send of the old year, film-wise, and greet the new one. We hope you enjoy our (personal) awards for cinema achievements in 2019 and hope we all have a fantastic (film-wise and otherwise) 2020.
