CMBA and ClassicFlix
It has been an exciting few weeks for The Blonde at the Film!
First, the Classic Movie Blog Association held its annual awards and History Through Hollywood: or, What I Learned from Classic Movies won for Best Classic Movie Series!
I’m thrilled and honored, especially because the CMBA is such an outstanding group of classic movie bloggers. It was wonderful to read all the nominations and revisit the year’s incredible collection of writing! I was reminded yet again of what a talented group this is. Congratulations to the other winners!
Best Film Review: Queen Christina ( 1933 ) – Pre-Code.com
Best Film Review ( Musical/Comedy ): In Defense of Lina Lamont – The Vintage Cameo
Best Film Article: Real-life Society “Honor Slaying” Inspires Two Movies – Immortal Ephemera
Best Profile of a Classic Movie Performer or Filmmaker: CMBA Forgotten Stars Blogathon : Eddie Cantor – Once Upon a Screen
Best Classic Movie Event: The Great Villain Blogathon April 13-17, 2015, hosted by Speakeasy and co-hosted by Shadows and Satin and Silver Screenings
Best Classic Movie Blog Design: Silver Scenes and Shadows and Satin
You can find out more about the awards here. And congratulations again to all the nominees and winners!
Second, I’m delighted to announce that I will be writing the monthly Colorama column on ClassicFlix.com! I was thrilled to be asked, and I am excited to contribute to such a wonderful site.
If you haven’t checked out ClassicFlix, definitely head over there. It’s a Netflix-type subscription service but only with classic movies, so it’s a dream for a movie buff! Much of their inventory is difficult to find anywhere else, so I am looking forward to watching hard-to-find films as well as old favorites! You can read my first article on the color design in Thrill of a Romance (1945) on ClassicFlix now—of course I chose an Esther Williams film!
I love writing The Blonde at the Film, and it’s just an added bonus when my work is recognized. Thank you to my fellow bloggers at the CMBA and to ClassicFlix! And thank you, as always, for reading!
