Special FAMM mention 2009:

• There are no nominations for this award; it goes direct to the winner and we’ll tell you why!

The list shows you what a disappointing year 2009 was, for movies. There were some immense movies, there were some big performances both on screen and behind the scenes, some very good screenplays, but we failed to use the words ‘really great’ anywhere in 2009.

If you favorites aren’t mentioned, please leave a comment to say who you think should have been included and/or who you believe should win these prestigious awards. If your faves are not here, it means we were too busy writing screenplays and missed your movie choice!

The winners will be announced on January 20th, 2009.
