Best of 2014: Film Awards & Nominations Scorecard

Ongoing 2014 film awards scorecard

Added in final update (2/23): Academy Awards winners

Below is our current running tally of the most honored 2014 films and individuals, which will be updated daily throughout awards season (December - February) as new nominations and awards are announced. For each category, our points system works as follows:

• 3 points for winning an award
• 2 points for each runner-up (not common, but a few groups award a 2nd place prize)
• 1 point for being nominated (and not winning), or for being listed for an award that does not pick a winner

Further down the page (below the overall standings tables) you can find all of the individual nominations and awards announced throughout awards season (from over 50 different organizations overall).
