For those of you that cared enough to read this, I will offer you a bit of a recap of last night’s English Family Movie Awards ceremony, which was held at the English Family Home Theatre in ******* ****, KS. The host this year was Nicolas, who wore a St. Patrick’s Day 2010 shirt with a blue button up over it. He introduced many of the awards on the evening.
Zoe, in her PJs and a purple robe and little Owen also handed out awards. Owen stunned the whole crowd by wearing a Blue’s Clue’s shirt and warm up pants.
The big winner on the night was INCEPTION, which won 6 EFMAs, including Best Movie, Best Director, Best Fight and Best Ending. Kick Ass, which entered as the favorite pulled in three awards: Action Movie of the Year and Best Actor for Nicolas Cage. I know what you’re thinking, ‘who the hell give Nicolas Cage an acting award?’.
Tron Legacy won three awards and Let Me In won two, including Scariest Movie of the Year.
Normally we do the awards during the Oscars but this year we decided to have our own night of fun. We started by announcing winners then watched clips from How to Train Your Dragon, Kick Ass, Let the Right One In (since we don’t have the new version) before watching the last hour or so of Inception.
Stay tuned later this summer when we will be doing the First Ever English Family TV Awards….and check out the complete list of winners below.
