The 20/20 Awards
The 20/20 Awards use the advantage of time and perspective to annually re-evaluate films and performances from 20 years prior. Utilizing the benefit of hindsight, a voting body of film industry professionals from around the world carefully elects nominees, and hosts a live awards ceremony, designed to both honor and offer new perspective with fresh commentary on the impact of this body of work on cinema itself, and its influence on our culture.

The 20/20 Awards were co-founded by Kris Kristensen and Korby Sears over a drunken conversation, when Kristensen relayed the following Matt Damon quote to Sears:

"I think that the best way to judge movies is 10 years after they're released. I think they should actually do the awards that way. I think they should have done the Academy Awards this year for movies from 1998. I think it's better to look at a movie and then step back and look at it again. I don't think - that the awards necessarily get it right. I think they get it wrong more often than they get it right."

Sears and Kristensen tacked on an additional 10 years to theory, and the name 20/20 was created.

The Awards Ceremony

 * The 1st Annual 20/20 Awards debuted in 2010, honoring the films released in 1989.
 * The 2nd Annual 20/20 Awards honored the films released in 1990.
 * The 3rd Annual 20/20 Awards honored the films released in 1991.

Each year the awards ceremony has been hosted by Fred Northup, Jr.

The 20/20 Award is known as a Felix. If a nominee won an Oscar two decades earlier, and repeats by winning a Felix, they have won an Odd Couple.
