1939 CinSpec Awards

Starting today, I'll be completing my Decades series (or starting a My Ballot one?) by posting a full lineup of nominees every week. (So, these ballots will be linked on the Awards page with the winner posts.)

The order will be like this: 1939 this week, 1949 next week, 1959 the following week, and so on. Once I do 2009, I'll go back and start at 1938 and so on. This will allow me to catch up on the early 1930s (and some other odd years) before posting.

I've taken the liberty of marking the winners (*), so you don't have to go back and check. I've also posted some additional categories for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
