Technical Award Visual and Audio
These awards cover a large range of categories which are very technically sub divided by our competitors. Basically our academy choses the film that a) looks best and b) sounds best overall simple as that. No messing about with who did the cinematogrpahy or who was the sound engineer just on the overall impression.
Reminder
Only you first vote in each category counts.
You can vote for any film that you saw in the cinema in 2003
