There’s always at least one magnificent piece of work that just doesn’t fit into our annual awards, either because it stands head and shoulders above the rest of the work being done or because it’s simply so very different, incomparable.

A tradition that started on My Theatre is now being carried over to My Cinema as we announce our Performers of the Year for 2011 as part of the annual My Cinema Awards (the winners of which were announced earlier this week). Still to come is our yearly Honorary Award- given to one person or […]
