Seattle Film Critics Awards

The Seattle Film Critics Awards were bestowed in 2002, 2003, and 2004 by an ad hoc roster of Seattle's most prominent film reviewers. The voters included, among others, Soren Anderson (Tacoma News Tribune), William Arnold (Seattle Post-Intelligencer), Sean Axmaker (Seattle Post-Intelligencer), Sheila Benson (Seattle Weekly), Jim Emerson (freelance), John Hartl (Seattle Times), Robert Horton (Everett Herald), Richard T. Jameson (Queen Anne News), Moira Macdonald (Seattle Times), and Kathleen Murphy (Queen Anne News).

The awards ceased in 2004. The awards, and its voters, have no connection with a subsequent group calling itself the Seattle Film Critics Association.
