The 2nd Annual Loomings Awards for the C.W. Post Student Film Festival (2011)

Here are the results of the 2nd Annual Loomings-sponsored C.W. Post film Awards. We would like to remind everyone that the nominations were selected by a committee comprised of crews from various films,  committee members were not permitted to endorse the films they themselves worked on, and that the results were selected by a public vote, made available on this web page from 12:01 am May 5th to 12:00 pm May 8th. The votes were tallied by an anonymous third party unaffiliated with the film department in any way. 
Voting turn out was exceptional, with as many as 34 votes in some categories, which for an awards show in it's second year, and only in its first year with a public vote, is pretty impressive. The awards were presented on May 9th in the Hillwood Cinema, at an awards ceremony hosted by Mike Natale and Carrie Ferrante. Those in attendance who were affiliated with the winning films accepted on their behalf. The event was filmed and is in the process of being edited. It will be available to view soon.
