Our
Mission
Formerly known as The
Oscar® Igloo, one of the top online Oscar® resources, Awards Circuit
is an awards coverage website that focus on film, television, music,
theater and general entertainment. Our team ensures to bring you
unbiased awards coverage, while providing entertainment for all readers.
How we became the
Awards Circuit...
This all started when a
young man from Portugal by the name of Johnny Alba had a love and
passion for the Academy Awards. He started up his own website, The
Oscar Igloo which became a internet sensation. Since 2003, The
Igloo spawned many fans, readers, and film critics alike. Johnny
hired many writers for his website that shared a similar passion for
film. In March of 2008, after five long years of running the
website, Mr. Alba announced his resignation to his writers and appointed
long time contributor Clayton Davis, the new editor.
After much deliberating
between the two, Johnny and Clayton came to the decision that it was
time to expand our idea to new horizons. Why cover just film when
we could cover the entire spectrum of art? And that is what The
Awards Circuit strives to do; while focusing primarily on our
obsession with the Academy Awards, we follow all awards' show coverage
including the Emmys, Grammys, etc. while maintaining a respectful
and professional demeanor for our readers.
But for all you Johnny
fans out there, don't fray. He isn't far while remaining a special
writer for the site, he will still be with us on this journey through
awards season this year and every year following. With our
dedicated team of writers and new specials hitting the scene in the
coming months, The Awards Circuit will provide fun, entertaining, and
resourceful coverage of films and more.
