The FINAL nominee for "Favorite Actor" at Blood Bash 2024 is....

Tom Cox - for his work in the film "Cul-De-Sac."

There is ZERO doubt that "Cul-De-Sac" is unlike pretty much any other movie in the "Finals Block," and, really, almost any film at Blood Bash 2024 in general. But MAN did our judges (and us) LOVE THIS MOVIE! It's definitely different, but Tom Cox's performance is part of the reason we love it! He's great in this role and while all of the other nominations for "Favorite Actor" are in much more *serious* roles and films, you seriously can't undersell his acting in this movie! Cul-De-Sac is a completely different vibe from all of the other movies in this block, and we're all for it! It'll be one of the most talked about films and performances at the show, we promise you!

You can catch Tom's performance in "Cul-De-Sac" when it plays on Saturday, February 10th, 2024 at 4:45 PM as part of our "Favorites Block" that will close out the main portion of the Film Festival!
