mini/eh If he is...I don't get it.  Isn't 5 letters easier than "Bricks in Motion Awards?"

I was meaning to say that even if BiMAs isn't an official name, people are still going to accept it as a name, simply because it is shorter than Bricks In Motion Awards. It was directed to the comment that BiMAs direntbsoumd as good as other names, my response saying BiMA wasn't meant to be acronymed, it would be though, because of it's length.

Accepted by whom? Generally that's still a bit loose.
What about an all CG animated film. That's still a brickfilm is it not? Which doesn't meet your criteria.
I'm not meaning to create an argument here but if there is no clear definition posted then it's still open to interpretation.

hey, like the BAFAS, would the winners get signatures with the golden minifig, like:

I have no idea what that last one has to do with visual effects.

Haha NOS, I had not checked the thread today but was already working on those.  I agree the effects one needed work, also never really liked the voice actor one so I've redone both of those.  This took me way longer than expected, but then I should have known making 40 of these would take a while...

And here they are:

I love your wording. The Germans are making brickfilms! RUN!

Yeah I think it's interesting that only one Best Film nominee was made by a native English speaker.

Haha that's what I get for finishing these at 2 AM in the morning I guess...redid the effects ones last minute when I decided to change the effects image.  Anyway, fixed the spelling error.

I think the ensemble cast needs another minifig on the right.

That crossed my mind too, the 3rd minifig didn't really get in the frame after cropping.  Didn't feel like redoing it by that point though.  Maybe next year I'll make a few more changes.

We wouldn't have to see too much of him mainly a head and a bit of a torso.

Not really, that's his name in the chat and that's what it was on BF.
