Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

I have some stunning news. The results of the Accolade Global Film Competition are in. I paid extra to have both Jeff Weber and Junes Zahdi considered for Best Actor. I had to pay twice because they appoint a specific judge to evaluate a specific actor's work. I certainly was not going to choose which one to enter; thus, I entered both. So, they were competing against each other, as well as all the other lead actors from all the other films.

And the result is that the Award of Merit for a Leading Actor was given to Jeff Weber for playing Sheriff Joe Haladin. But, they also issued a Leading Actor Special Mention Award to Junes Zahdi for playing Abdul Latif Hassan.

And, My Stretch of Texas Ground won the Award of Recognition for Best Feature Film.

I spoke to Jeff about this, and he expressed his great appreciation to everyone who was involved, our very talented actors and our very supportive crew. And he thanks Junes Zahdi for bringing out the best in him, as actors playing off each other can do. It is one more confirmation that, despite the handicap of a small budget, we made a great film.
