Well what better way to start of the year than with an award nomination! "JIMMY SAVES THE OLYMPICS" has been nominated for a prestigious ACTIVISION FIRST LIGHT MOVIES AWARD in the Best Animation category. My congratualtions to our group of seven 12-13 year-olds, from three different schools, who supported by The National Media Museum, received the nomination for their short 2D animation which they made entirely in their Easter holidays.“Jimmy Saves the Olympics” was part of a cross continental young people’s animation project celebrating the Olympic Games, “Olympics, Let’s Fantasize”, organised by the ASIFA Workshop Group.
The group are up against two other nominated films from Stockton-on-Tees and Brighton for the ‘Best Animation’ award, chosen by an industry panel and youth jury. As part of the ‘Best Animation’ category and sponsored by Activision, they will be judged by Ben Miller (The Armstrong & Miller Show), Georgia Groome (Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging), Freddie Highmore (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) and Ashley Jensen (Ugly Betty).
The winning film from each category will be announced at the glittering awards ceremony on 17th March, hosted by T4’s Miquita Oliver and Rick Edwards at the ODEON Leicester Square, London. The ceremony will be attended by a mix of film industry luminaries and celebrities who present the awards across eight categories; Best Drama, Best Horror, Best Thriller, Best Screenplay, Best Animation, Best Fantasy Adventure, Best Film by Under 12s and Best Film by Over 13s.
