Kermode Awards
Kermode Awards
These annual awards are judged by only one person: esteemed BBC film critic Mark Kermode.

Rules
There is only one rule, and it is that you cannot win a Kermode Award in a category for which you've been Oscar nominated.
Winners
The categories and order of awards given are not consistent between years; as Dr K said "these are my awards, and frankly, I'm making up the rules as I go along"
