Film Threat’s Award This! is the only award show where the general public may attend by simply buying a ticket. (Try getting tickets to the Oscars!) This year, Film Threat’s Award This! event includes a fundraiser for the Frida Cinema, Orange County’s only independent movie theater.
The Award This! nominees were selected from over 2,000 indie films reviewed by Film Threat in 2021 (this year we extended our deadline into the first quarter of 2022 due to the pandemic).
This years’ vastly differing nominees have battled the media, beaten cancer, escaped killer babies, and survived Hollywood in the utterly unique Award This! bold and diverse categories including Indie Sci-Fi, Indie Horror, Indie Comedy, Indie LGBTQ+ Film, Indie Action/Thriller, WTF Indie, Indie Romantic Comedy, Indie Drama, Music Documentary, Pop Culture Documentary, Socially-Relevant Documentary, Best Director, Best Directress, Indie Made for Less Than the Contents of an Oscar Gift Bag (Under $100K), and Indie Movie of the Year.
