We are back after a two-year pandemic break.
Technically, this should have been the eleventh year & statistically, this should have been the ninth year — the last conferment was the 8th Annual CM’s SATC for the year 2019.
So, yes, the 9th Annual Awards would be presented later for the years 2020 & 2021 combined, as the pandemic hit period has had less number of releases. Later because the films from those two years haven’t been evaluated yet — we were against direct OTT releases then, due to various reasons.
Therefore, the 10th Annual CM’s SATC = the Common Man’s Standardized Awards for Tamil Cinema – 2022
What’s changed:
🔻We are considering ALL the films that are listed in Wiki, which includes direct OTT releases. This means we are essentially removing the clause that requires a film to have been screened in a theatre for more than 3 days outside City area.
🔻We have also reduced the minimum running length of films from 100 to 90 minutes to be eligible for consideration.
❌The third criteria remains unchanged — movies dubbed into Tamil are NOT eligible for consideration.
We are elated to add few more exclusive, ad hoc Award categories which will ensure complete evaluation of all the films and appreciation of everything that stood out among & inside them. The following 5 will take the total tally of Awards presented from 40 to 45*.
1) Best Shot/Frame
2) Best Scene Choreography — Staging
3) Best Scene Choreography — Writing
4) Best Intermission Block
5) Best Ending Block
*This addition will be applicable from the 10th Annual Awards only.
