The Popularity Award, established from the third Japan Academy Film Prize in 1980, is the only award among all the categories to be selected by ordinary movie fans’ votes. The films eligible for selection must have been released between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022, and the winners are determined by the votes of listeners to Nippon Broadcasting System’s midnight radio program “All Night Nippon” for the film and actor that they think “attracted the most attention” in 2022.

 

The winners of the best award in each category, including the Best Animation of the Year, will be announced at the awards ceremony to be held at the Grand Prince Hotel New Takanawa, Tokyo, on March 10.
