The Delta's Choice movie awards have
been the most prestigious and sought after
award in the motion picture industry since
the 1970's. Valued far above the Oscar or
Golden Globe by those in the know. Delta's
Choice was instituted by the co-founders to
acknowledge and reward the best films and
performances of each year.
In order to qualify for a Delta's Choice movie award a film must meet
all these criteria:
The film must have been released in the USA between October 1 of the
previous year and December 31 of the voting year. General release
takes precedence over limited release which takes precedence over
film festival release.
The Film must have been viewed for the first time by at least one
member of the executive committee within the calendar year
The film must have been viewed for the first time by all members of the
executive committee between December 1st of the preceding year and
January 31st of the following year.
How the awards are chosen
The Delta Films executive committee watches all the
qualified films. By January 31st the committee members
each nominate their choices for best movies and
performances in each category. The nomination list is then
assembled and sent to the entire executive committee to
vote on. Each member ranks each nominee in each
category first to last. The votes are then secretly tabulated
and averaged and the results are sealed until the awards
are announced.
