Woo hoo! The LAMMY Awards are here! I think from the banner name above you should figure out what this is all about. Well, for us movie bloggers, particularly the 1275 [and counting] members of LAMB, this is a chance to honor our fellow bloggers and acknowledge the work they’ve put into blogging about movies. When I say ‘work’ of course I meant labor of love as we won’t be doing this if we don’t love it, right? 😀
Last year I was thrilled to get enough votes to win the runner-up for Best New LAMB. The winner is the ever so deserving Cinematic Paradox, ran by the witty, 16-year-old New Zealander Stevee Taylor. She made an awesome FYC poster for this year, too!
Thanks to Dan and Joel who’ve kindly encouraged me to post my For Your Consideration campaign this year. So in that spirit, I’d be honored if you’d think of FlixChatter when you’re voting on these categories:
- Best Design
- Most Prolific
(I post on average 5 days a week with a weekend break) - Best Movie Reviewer
- Best Ratings System
- Best Running Feature
(Five for the Fifth and the 007Chatter Monthly Series)
To those of you who have voted for me, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. May the best LAMB win! 😀
Can anyone vote or do you have to be an member?
Unfortunately you have to be a member, but thanks for considering me 🙂
Well, I’m a member Ruth, and I have to say your name in already written in in ink in several categories. I’m still working on filling out the rest of the ballot, but Flixchatter will be receiving multiple noms from me, without a doubt 😀
Awww!! Why thanks Fogs, that means a lot coming from you. Again, the feeling — and votes — are mutual! 🙂
You’re welcome Ruth 😀
Thanks again Sam!
Good luck in the awards Ruth! May the odds be ever in your favour!
Hey, I’ve been wearing the Hunger Games pin on my jacket, so thanks for that awesome well wishes! 😀
I did my votes last week, and suffice to say you featured heavily.
I decided not to do a FYC post as I am a bit anti campaigning. It is the Brit is me!! LOL
Anyway I know you will do well. Good luck
Ahah, well you don’t have to matey, your site speaks for itself 🙂
I only started my blog in January Ruth and my entry submission is still pending so, unfortunately, I’m not eligible to vote yet. I would have mentioned you but best of luck anyway.
Hey thanks Mark! Well, I’ll be sure to think of you next year for Best New LAMB 😀
Thank you very much Ruth. Best wishes. I’m sure you’ll grab yourself something from this years awards.
You definitely got my vote in a few categories. This is one of my favorite newly discovered blogs.
Awww, thank you Dave!
speaking of design, Flixy, there’s one thing I’ve always wanted to tell you: I think you need to make the titles of your posts either bigger,bolder or in other colour, since it is extremely difficult finding where one post ends and the new one begins.
Thanks for your feedback, Dez, unfortunately that’s part of the template but I’m hoping to change my template sometime this year so hopefully I won’t run into such a problem again.
I discovered your blog recently but it’s so awesome that I included you in my votes 🙂 Love the ideas and design around here!
Oh thanks so much Sati! That’s what’s great about this whole blogging thing, there’s always a wonderful new blog to discover, I love yours too!
All great choices, but I think FlixChatter should be up for Best Blog as well! 🙂
Awww you’re a sweetheart for saying that. I didn’t dare to put the Big Kahuna here but thanks so much for considering FC! 😀
You are too kind. I am under no illusions of any sort of noms. But you however I have big hopes for you. I voted many times for my little flixy!
Thanks so much matey! I’m so honored!
Good luck on the lammies Ruth. The competition is strong this year and we have so many new, awesome blog in the LAMB this past year. It’s getting quite exciting actually.
Indeed Castor, I could easily nominate like 10 blogs for Best New LAMB. That is very exciting indeed. But for the Big Kahuna, you know AM gets my vote 😉
Awww thanks Ruth!! 😀 And you know you are my fave so you will always get my vote as well.
I still feel guilty for winning last year. You deserved it far more than I! Good luck to you this year 🙂
Oh no, don’t be. Seriously, your site ROCKS!! I love all the graphics you made and your writing is just awesome. For sure you got the Best Design vote from me, amongst others!

Hi Ruth, I think if anyone deserves some award recognition it’s you Ruth. Your content is consistent, interesting and conscientious. I’ll be voting for you.
Awww, how sweet of you to say. Really, this whole blogging thing is a labor of love, so to even be nominated is icing on the cake 😀
Already voted and you made the cut. Hopefully my LAMMY FYC ad is up to snuff!
Hey thanks! Do you have your FYC post up? I don’t see it on your site.
Damn, seems that it didn’t post to my sidebar like I thought. If you scroll down to the post “A Week’s Worth of General Announcements” it’s the lead image.
Ah yeah I see it. Well you’ve already gotten my vote anyway 😀
Aw thanks!
You’ll definitely be making my ballot Ruth. I’m even considering you in a category that you didn’t ask for!
Already voted for you in some categories, Ruth. Not surprised if you happen to get nominated or win again 🙂
A shame the public at large can’t vote as we are the ones reading them and so on but I am sure even without my vote you would win out of love of film and enthusiasm you bring to every post.
I’ve been waiting to become a member…submitted my application a while back, Unfortunately, I cannot vote. But, Flixchatter is very deserving! Best wishes
It does take a long while T, I think they’re short-staffed and I’m sure tons of people apply on a weekly basis. I’m glad you’ve submitted your application though, next year you’re gonna be BEST NEW LAMB 😀
