Prêmio ACIE de Cinema is a Brazilian film award.

The prize

OR LICA Film Award was born in 2004. Conceived by the President of LICA, Michael Astor, a correspondent for the Associated Press, the award was inspired by the Golden Globe Awards awarded by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (Association Foreign Press of Hollywood, in Portuguese).

In each edition, the feature films commercially released in Brazilian cinema during the previous year are assessed by the Award Committee, formed by corresponding international partners of LICA. They watch all productions and show four films in each of the nine competitive categories: film (fiction), Director, Actress, Actor, Documentary, Photography, Writing, Soundtrack and Blockbuster Brazil. This last category was created in the 2012 edition to reward films that achieved top grossing a million tickets.

All nominated films participate in a show open to the public, held at Centro Cultural Banco do Brazil (CCBB) in Rio. In addition to allowing all associated with LICA to watch movies, the show has the public vote ( not foreign correspondents) to elect the winner in the category Popular Jury.

At the opening of the show, the Prize carries out the premiere of an unpublished long in the supply chain, followed by a discussion with the director, actors and producers.

After watching the films during the show, the corresponding international affiliated with LICA vote, the internet, your favorite in each category. The winners are revealed at the awards ceremony. The event has also a special honor, awarded by the prize to a film industry personality for lifetime achievement. The tribute began to be made from the 2007 edition.

And as the party is of international correspondents, an associate of LICA is honored by the dissemination of Brazilian culture with RioFilme Award. The winner is chosen by the very RioFilme based on materials submitted by journalists, broadcast in newspapers, magazines, TV, radio or internet, in the previous year.
