Joshua sipped his coffee and contemplated the films from which he had to choose.
For best IDU film The Tale of Bearren was pure epic and the amount of effort that had been put into the masterpiece was obvious to anyone and whilst he had really enjoyed the coming of age movie with a dark twist 'About a Souffl?' and the heart wrenching trials portrayed in 'Defenders of Kamchatka' he felt had to go for Bearren.
From the two entries for best foreign film he'd decided on 'Dog in a Wolf's Lair'. Zwangzug's 'Outside the Lines' had appealed for the way it told of four people pulled together in common cause but the grittiness of 'Wolf' had won him over.
He thought to himself that it was a shame that only 'The Society of the Red Rose' was entered under the classics category. He remembered fondly watching the movie as an awestruck nine year old, okay perhaps that was because of the epic battle scenes and the assets of the female lead but nevertheless. It would have been a strong contender even if there had been other films in the running but since there weren't......

His votes cast he glanced up to see the Gnjes delegation approaching him. Flashing a sincere smile he called out, "Agnes, Jens - how are you both? How are you enjoying Suddery?' He nodded at the bar. Now business is done - well at least until the announcements - it's time for something a little stronger than coffee....and the first round is on me."
