Move Over, Oscar: The YouReviewer Movie Awards Are Rolling Out This February

Sure, the awards-season buzz at the moment is focused on both this weekend's Golden Globes and the Oscar nominations coming up on Jan 24. But who says a few average guys with an unabashed love of all things cinema aren’t fully qualified to honor the best of the big screen from the comfort of the (very) small screen?

Enter the YouReviewers Movie Awards, which will be bringing its second annual show to Movieline parent company PMC’s brand-spanking-new YouTube original channel ENTV. It’s the only show that reflects the choices of YouTube nation – yes, all 800 million monthly unique monthly visitors strong.

"The YouReviewers committee is made up of a wide range of people -- women, men, all ages, generations," says YouReviewers co-founders and co-hosts The Schmoes. "YouReviewers is relatable and the audience feels that their voice is being heard."

“The average person has a voice that matters,” says Jeremy Jahns, YouTube critic extraordinaire and co-host and founder of the awards. “The YouReviewer Movie Awards show celebrates that in a big way.” Also handing out awards on the YouReviewers are such YouTube star-cinephiles as “Beyond the Trailer’s” Grace Randolph, Catherine Reitman and Chris Stuckman.

The YouReviewers Movie Awards will be announced mid-February and will air on ENTV (you can subscribe -- and earn a chance at a free iPad 2 -- here!), but for now, here are a list of the nominees, as voted on by the YouReviewer community.
