This year, the Kermode Awards has a new category - the 'Anti-Kermode' Audience Award.
To win the title of Anti-Kermode 2009, just explain here (in no more than 100 words) why Mark was WRONG about a film, an actor, a director, or anything else film related.
The top Anti-Kermode will be announced at the Kermodes on Tuesday 17th February on The Culture Show, which will end with a clip of the film you disagree about. The more forthright the entry, the more chance you have!
Entries must be in by 5pm Monday 9th February 2009. Anything submitted to this blog after that cannot be considered.
