Done In 60 Seconds Award | The Jameson Empire Awards 2010

I bring explosive news.

I am one of the judges of the most amusing “Done In 60 Seconds” competition for the 2010 Jameson Empire Awards.

I shall judging entries from around the globe with the EMPIRE team next year and presenting the award to the winner.

I saw some of these very amusing 60 second epics when I was last at the awards in 2008. That year the award was won by a minute long TITANIC. Which film will win next year?

Get filming you little herberts!

See below for some rambling tips by yours truly and details of how to enter.

I must preface this clip by saying that if it looks like I just rolled out of bed…well…

  • Damn, I wish I looked that good just rolling out of bed. But then again, I don't look that good after a shower and some primping! x

    LOVE that WALL-E entry! Very clever.
  • I really like the American Psycho and Forrest Gump ones.
  • AmberGrindstaff

    A sleepy,lovely clip of you

    sounds like fun.

    if I had any money or technical know-how I'd love to do Royal Tenenbaums.
    and if I knew you you would have to stand in for the young Baumer.
    I really like the almost catchphrase of "It doesn't matter"

    one bit I dont get in that film - where he mutters "I'm going to kill myself tomorrow" and then does it there and then. v odd.

    I imagine that's going to be very difficult to judge! I think my favorites were The Dark Knight, The Fugitive and Forrest Gump.
  • The American Psycho & Reservoir Dog ones made me laugh out loud, these are all awesome!
  • steph
    Do you accept bribes? Espresso?

    Not that I'll need to bribe anyone as my entry will clearly be the best and win on merit alone :)

    Edgar, as Slick said, we only WISH we could look that good after just rolling out of bed!

    This is awesome. I'm seriously tempted to try and make one, even though I wouldn't have the faintest idea where to start.
  • Well said, Sarah. And yes, you SO should try making one!! :0)
  • Sarah5636
    Very cool. Your going to have a lot of fun judging this Ed. I enjoyed watching the entries from this year, looking forward to seeing next years.
  • Well I usually cant wait to board the plane but this time its a bummer because I have been enjoying these blogs. Ill have to finish up when I get to my destination.
