It’s time again to vote for the best of the big and small screens — take a look at this year’s nominees and be ready to vote online.
Take Eight: It’s time once again to pick your favorites for the annual C&I Movie & TV Awards. Or as we still like to call them: The Cowboys.
Nominations for the eighth edition of the awards have been culled by a C&I committee from films and TV productions that premiered, or continued, during the calendar year of 2024. But, as always, you have the final word as you vote for your favorites in various categories.
Voting has ended for the 2025 C&I Movie & TV Awards. You can access the list of winners here.
