The British Film Bloggers Circle — a new organization of which I am a member — has announced the winners our first annual awards. (Awards are for films released in the U.K. between Feb 2011 and the end of January 2012, so some films would have been eligible for the previous years Oscars and other awards.) Links below go to my reviews. Click over to the BFBF to see the other nominees.
