Bricks in Motion Awards

BRICKFILM AWARDS ARCHIVE - huge work in process, citations needed, explanations, etc

Winning films are in bold.

The Bricks In Motion Awards (abbr. BiMAs) is an annual event held on Bricks In Motion to recognize 'brickfilms that do extraordinarily in many aspects of film and entertainment'. The winners of each category are awarded with a (virtual) Bricks In Motion Award.

The BiMAs are similar in style to film industry award shows such as the BAFTAs or Oscars with films being nominated for a category in advance and then the winner being announced to a live audience. The 'live' winner's announcement of the BiMAs is usually done via IRC chat which has sometimes been accompanied with a video stream.

The event is considered to have taken over from the Brick Award for Film Arts (BAFAs) which ran for one year in 2007, which in turn took over from the Brickfilming Achievement in Motion Picture Arts awards (BAMPA awards) which ran in 2005 and 2006.

2010 Bricks in Motion Awards
The 2010 Bricks in Motion Awards did not take place, this was due its organiser Dylan Woodley only receiving 5 nomination ballots from the staff members of the site and a lack of eligible voters. The lack of a 2010 awards came as a surprise to many users because Woodley had already announced the 2010 awards as happening and produced a short list of films for the Viewers Choice Award. It took 5 months after the closing of Viewer's Choice voting for official confirmation that the event was not happening.
