The Midlands Movies Awards
Our Midlands 'Oscars' are a platform to honour the local films released in the previous 12 months – whether they be shorts, features, animation, documentaries and more. We reward the region’s talent across 16 categories such as ‘Best Picture’, ‘Best Actor / Actress’, ‘Best Director’ and many others. Midlands Movies supports and is pleased to recognise the fantastic movie-making talent in the area each year.
Every season the nominations and eventual winners are chosen by an experienced jury panel made up of a wide-range of industry experts. Previous jury panel members include Shane Meadows (This Is England director), Debbie Isitt (BAFTA-award winning director of Nativity films), Steve Oram (actor/writer), Richard Billingham (Turner prize nominee & director of Ray & Liz), James Luxford (Radio Times film critic), Becky Adams (CEO Screen Northants), Dharmesh Rajput (Head of Birmingham Indian Film Festival) and Pin Cushion director Deborah Haywood.

The 2024 event will take place at the
Y Theatre in Leicester on Saturday 8th June 2024.
