Kind of like the Critics awards eh?
Not sure, but more people should be aware of such awards. This is one award which recognizes pure acting.
To be honest, I've not even heard of most of the films listed there.
Hehe, I am not surprised. Not many people I know are fans of pure cinema.
Not sure what you guys like in such movies. I like some 'spice' in my movies.
Yep, as someone above said, these awards are just for acting and quality of the film, irrespective of how popular it was.
The word 'Method acting' always reminds me of the great Marlon Brando. May he RIP.
