Hello People,
After promising to come up with the 1st High on Films Awards Result in early March, we didn’t show up for a long time, yes we ditched big time. But there are several reasons for that, first, there weren’t too many votes by then [which was later followed by a huge wave of votes] and second, we wanted to make it happen on one of the most special days relevant to us, HOFmen. Today is that special, auspicious, holy day. On this day, last year, we launched this wonderful website you all love and so as HOF turns 1 today, we couldn’t think of anything better than finally announcing the results for the best films and best performances of 2015. We have had two sets of polling, one for the juries and one on the website for everybody else. To come up with the most fair results, we combined the two and calculated the weighted average of the two polls. At the end of the post, we have mentioned every jury who took time to associate with this Online Award. Without any further delay, Here are the results for The 1st High on Films Awards.
