It’s back — time to cast your votes for the Empire Awards 2017

The empire Awards keeps getting bigger. Our annual celebration of the year’s best movies and TV shows adds another new category to the roster in 2017, offering fresh opportunities to follow in the footsteps of this year’s big winners, Star Wars: The

Force Awakens and Mad Max: Fury Road, when the great and good of movieland come together on sunday 19 march.

every movie released between 31 January 2016 and 31 January 2017 will be eligible, so heavyweight contenders could include Arrival, Captain America: Civil War, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Doctor Strange. will Batman and superman need to settle their differences long enough to share an award for Dawn Of Justice? does The Jungle Book have the new Best 3d Film category sown up? will La La Land continue to add to its already burgeoning haul of nominations? it’s not just the biggest blockbusters in the running, though. Cult favourites like The Greasy Strangler and Green Room will be vying for Best Comedy and Best Thriller, while The Witch, Victoria and Hell Or High Water are all possible dark horses — not forgetting Empire’s own film of the year, Hunt For The Wilderpeople.

But we don’t know this for a fact. why not? Because this is the only movie awards show voted for by you, the Empire reader. To pick your favourites, simply head to www.empireonline.com/awards and get voting. Not only will you be help decide who wins in march, you’ll be in with a chance of being there to see it. One lucky soul will win a pair of tickets to attend the awards itself, including dinner and drinks, and witness it all first hand. don’t delay — you are the only academy that matters!
