The 2024 Hollywood Outsider Awards for Film and Television

These are the only awards that really matter, the 2024 HO Awards! On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, we are breaking down our 2024 awards for both film and television. If you haven’t listened to our HO Awards before, we do ours a bit different, for example our “actor” category covers all genders, we do not separate it. For TV, network, cable, and streaming all count, it just has to have had at least 3 new episodes in 2023. For movies, theatrical, VOD, and streaming all count.

If you want to follow along, the categories are below, so let us know what your picks are on our social media channels. Each of us will award our winners in each category, and at the end, we’ll combine ours with listener picks to determine what was the HO TV series and Movie of the Year!

Take a listen to the 2024 HO Awards for TV and Film!
