Ladies and gentlemen, this is the 3rd MOVIEJERK AWARDS, and for the first time in THE MOVIEJERK AWARDS history, as the magic number reckons, 3 major performances agrees to that of Oscars, from Best Actor, Best Actress and to Best Supporting Actor. The Best Supporting Actress nods to that of Golden Globes instead. But that doesn't really matter: Moviejerk philosophy still intact - screw Oscars, Golden Globes and Bafta's, this is the real moment to mention those who truly deserves the honour and plaudits in the year that was eventful and thrilling in the home of films, in this critic's opinion. Self-confessed, for sure, as always does.

Last year, it was PAN'S LABYRINTH, BABEL and CHILDREN OF MEN that gathered most of the gongs, to which you might notice, all films directed by excellent Mexican auteurs, Del Toro, Innaritu and Cuaron respectively. Now this time, it's the year of the British metteurs-en-scene, and a touch of German and Irish, and oh, American before I forget.

Probably enough with my ramble shambles, and off you trot with the award list.
