10th Annual Golden Trailer Awards

Now this is a new added information to me. We all know about the Oscars (Academy awards) where they award movies not only with popularity but in terms of the quality in every movie aspects. Then there's the Golden Globe Awards, Actor's Guild Awards for actors in there movie performance. Tony Awards, MTV Movie awards that is based on popularity of the movie being nominated and voted by the fans never mind the quality of the movie. But never have I heard about an award show solely created just for movie trailers. In my quest in traveling into the vast network we call the internet. Moving from one domain to another nameservers within the network I stumbled into the URL of http://www.goldentrailer.com/. It is the home of the Golden Trailer Awards. Now, I love watching trailers. I even want to go in the movie house 30 or an hour earlier of the movie I am watching with reasons that I want to watch the trailer that they will be showing before the movie. But never did I realize that there are awards for this things. According to goldentrailer.com;

"Movie trailers play an increasingly important role in entertaining us and helping us determine where to spend our leisure time. The best trailers are works of art in their own right, expertly blending elements of cinema and advertising. "

Which is true, how many movies have we watched because the trailer intrigue us or the trailer looks interesting enough. (which is sometimes the trailer are more exciting compared to the actual movie itself. lol) It also makes sense since trailers are advertisements for the up coming movie and we all know that there are also advertising awards given out each year in the advertising industry.

If u asked me I have no disputes with the winners. Not like the MTV Awards. I didn't like the results in MTV Awards this year. So I'm not writing any reviews in that show.
