Poll: Do film awards influence your choice of movie?

Give it to us straight. Be honest.

WE’RE RIGHT IN the middle of the film industry’s (long) awards season at the moment – we had our own Iftas last week, the Baftas were doled out yesterday, and the 90th Academy Awards will take place on Sunday week.

Martin McDonagh’s Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri captured five Baftas last night, while Guillermo Del Toro’s The Shape of Water came away with three prizes.

But does the number of awards a film receives influence your choice, when you decide to head to the cinema – or are there other factors you’d consider instead?

We want to know: Do film awards influence your choice of movie?


Poll Results:

No (5206)
Yes (3874)
No interest/no opinion (430)

    I think he DOES get it, but he has so painted himself into a corner that he’s trying to spoof his way to saving his political hide. But it won’t work, all thats undecided is how long before kenny is ousted by his own party.

    All out on the 10th.

    Kelly: “That’s a matter for Irish Water!” Lol

    Getting sick and tired of the constant media updates on Irish Water. People are not going to pay, get over it. Meanwhile in the real world, the government are happy that this is detracting from other real issues, – other real issues such as zero to no absolutely no focus on actual real job creation by the current government.

    Well, I’ve seen every thing now! That corned beef coloured chancer, Frank Flannery, came out from under his rock and appeared on the Prime Time programme to support this Government and to rubbish the protests. Needless to say, nobody mentioned Rehab :-)
