List of film awards


This is a list of groups, organizations, and festivals that recognize achievements in cinema, usually by awarding various prizes. The awards sometimes also have popular unofficial names, which are mentioned if applicable. Many awards are simply identified by the name of the group presenting the award.
Awards have been divided into four major categories: critics' awards, voted on by a group of critics; festival awards, awards presented to the best film shown in a particular film festival; industry awards, which are selected by professionals working in some branch of the movie industry; and audience awards, which are voted by the general public.
