What are the Golden Stans?
They are my own awards, set up at the end of 1991 in a fit of infuriation that the right movies never win awards - or at least movies I liked didn't win awards.
What's the criteria?
There are a few easy rules. Clearly, I must have seen it; it must be a current release (so old films at the NFT or major releases of re-edited/remastered works don't count); and it must have been on theatrical release. So, for instance, although I didn't get to see Zodiac at the cinema and I've seen it on DVD at home, it qualifies as it was a theatrical release in 07.
What categories are there?
All the usual 'bests': film, director, actor, actress, supporting actor, supporting actress, original screenplay, adapted screenplay, cinematography, score, etc.
