I'm writing in a damp grey bleak December as 2003 winds to a close. Although the wrong side of Christmas, it's my pleasure to announce the winners of the Evangelicals Now 2003 Arts & Media Awards, which as you know are the ones that people in the business really want to win.

The EN Award for Most Successful Unfinished Film Trilogy goes to Lord of the Rings, whose completion is currently an eagerly awaited Christmas treat. The only other contender for this award blew its chances royally with a dreadfully indulgent part 2 - I highly recommend The Matrix (part 1) as an excellent discussion starter for youth groups and other gatherings, but you're in for a frustrating evening if you try to make sense of the sequel.
