About Prizes for film

Film awards play a big part in the film industry, world wide. For more than a century they have helped shape the nature of movies and improve their quality (or degrade their quality, if you are so inclined). They have had a major impact on the artistic and financial structure of the industry and the climate in which films are made. They are worthy of examination and exploration in their own right.

Prizes For Film is a feature presented by The Muse Of Film. Here, The Muse explores not only the prizes themselves, but also the agencies that award the prizes and the nature of their impact on films, filmmakers, and the film industry.

These agencies that grant prizes for excellence and achievement in film are currently represented:

• Academy Awards
• Cannes Film Festival Awards
• Golden Globe Film Awards
• New York Film Critics Awards for Film
• Venice Film Festival
