I must apologize for the tardiness in putting up this post – the blog has primarily been running on auto-pilot for a while to cover my travels. But with NXNE and The King of Pain all finished, I have the chance to take a second and profess a word or two of thanks.

You may recall that The Dark of The Matinee was nominated for eight Lammy Awards in seven categories. Well the beans were all counted, and by the time everything was said and done, my fellow bloggers gave me the awards for:

Best Awards/Film Festivals Coverage – TIFF 2010
The Brainiac Award
Most Prolific Blogger
Best Podcast
Best Blog

To say I’m humbled would be putting it mildly. For every one of these awards, I can think of a blog or blogger more deserving and if you’re not reading them, or listening to them, you should be.

Thanks for starting my summer with a bang everybody – and I suppose there won’t be too much time to bask in the glow as I just picked up my passes for TIFF 2011 this morning!
