Golden Globe Nominees Announced (Majority Have Played at The Grand!)

The hysteria that is Film Awards Season is nearly upon us and, as it is every mid-December, the proverbial engine was revved this morning by the announcement of the nominations for the 2013 Golden Globe Awards. This sort of announcement fires us up here at The Grand as the Globes are one of film’s most prestigious awards and their nominations continue to set the table for Oscar nominations (which are scheduled to be announced January 10th, three days prior to the Golden Globes).

These announcements always seem to reinforce our taste in film here at The Grand as we never fail to have shown the majority of the films nominated. This year is no exception. In total, 37 different films were nominated for awards and The Grand has shown (or will show) 21 of them.

THANK YOU – TACOMA FILM FESTIVAL

The Tacoma Film Festival staff would like to say –  THANK YOU – to everyone who attended the 2010 Tacoma Film Festival or supported the event in some way.  We had record attendance at the films, fantastic sponsors and of course wonderful volunteers that all together made it happen.

 Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

The Opening Night Gala crowd

 It is so hard to believe another Tacoma Film Festival has come and gone.  It is already time to start planning for the 2011 Tacoma Film Festival.  With that being said, we welcome any and all feedback from this year’s event.  Please comment here or send us an email:  tacomafilmfestival@gmail.com.  We learn something new every year and hope to capitalize on each failure and success.  The festival continues to grow because of loyal patrons like yourselves and the amazing filmmakers who produce great films. 

Filmmaker Kevin Tomlinson, of the award-winning Best Documentary Back to the Garden, spoke to the Opening Night Gala crowd.

 Oh, what a festival!

Plenty of food provided by Jonz Catering – everyone was full!
