Cinemarati Award Winner

Not one to toot our own horn here, we'll do this quickly and humbly, proudly, not loudly: GreenCine Daily has won a Cinemarati Award for Best Film-Related Web Site.

We'd like to thank the members of Cinemarati, the "web alliance for film commentary," for bestowing us with this honor. To quote the great orators Wayne and Garth, "We're not worthy, we're not worthy!"

Some of the other winners of their partially straightforward, partially off-beat categories: This small arthouse flick called Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, for Best Film; Best DVD: By Brakhage; Peter Sollett won the Orson Welles Award for the Year's Best Directorial Debut for Raising Victor Vargas (here's wishing Sollett many productive years ahead before he ends up in TV wine commercials); amusingly, Best Song went to "More Than This," which Bill Murray crooned karaoke-style in Lost in Translation; and, cool -- Tim Orr, for Best Cinematography, for his lovely work in All the Real Girls.

And while we're at it, a shout out to the other fine cinematic web sites up for a Cinemarati alongside GC Daily, all worthy of a link and a nod, and of this award:
Bright Lights Film Journal
DVD Beaver
Midnight Eye
Senses of Cinema
The Tulse Luper Suitcases Web Archive
The Fog of War
Masters of Cinema

Congrats to all. We're sincerely humbled by this honor and hope to continue to meet with the respect of our peers in 2004!

I've been saying that you're the best for ages. Just for the record, I mean.

I ain't jumping on no bandwagon.

Thanks, all. The hangover's just about worn off, so we'll be back to our regularly excessive linkage tomorrow.
